The 2022 Met Gala has faced criticism after choosing “Gilded Glamour” as the event’s theme, amidst some of the socio-economic issues that America has currently been facing.
The event took place on Monday 2 May in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, in honour of the Costume Institute’s part two of its American fashion exhibit. This year’s theme, “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” was dedicated to fashion during the eighteenth century and was a continuation of the 2021 Met Gala theme, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.”
