Met Gala 2022 Theme Revealed: 'The Garden Of Time'

Met Gala arrivals in New York City

The official dress code for this year's highly anticipated Met Gala has been revealed as 'The Garden of Time.' This intriguing theme draws inspiration from a 1962 short story penned by renowned British author J. G. Ballard. The story is set in a garden adorned with translucent, time-manipulating flowers, offering a unique and fantastical backdrop for the event.

J. G. Ballard, known for his association with New Wave science fiction, often crafted dystopian narratives that explored themes of ecological collapse and the emergence of ominous technologies. The choice of the Ballardian theme for this year's Met Gala promises a thought-provoking and visually captivating experience for attendees.
