And that’s a wrap! The 2022 Met Gala red carpet is slowly coming to a close.
In summary, we saw bedazzled garments, intricate embroidery and gold layered on gold as guests interpreted the Gilded Glamor theme. Both men and women sported corsets, and with them came padded hips, dragging trains and puffy sleeves, harking back to the exaggerated silhouette of the late 1800s.
Some key moments:
Kim Kardashian cast herself as Marilyn Monroe. At least for a short while, when she took the original, multimillion-dollar dress Monroe wore when she sang “Happy birthday, Mr President” for a spin.
A Jared Leto drama ensued, when fashion’s “mystery man” Fredrik Robertsson arrived in a dramatic number reminiscent of Leto’s experimental outfits of past red carpets and was briefly mistaken for the actor.
And an engagement rounded off the night, when NYC cultural affairs commissioner Laurie Cumbo accepted a proposal from her partner Bobby Digi Olisa. The Metropolitan Museum of Art called in “an amazing moment on an amazing night”.
