The annual event is held to raise money for the museum’s Costume Institute, and it is a must-attend event by celebrity fashion lovers, but the catch is it is by invitation only and all attendees must be personally approved by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.. The theme for this year’s Met Gala is “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” and it was hosted by official co-chairs Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Regina King, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. In keeping with the theme, guests wore their theatrical takes on white-tie dressing. The evening celebrated the museum’s new exhibition of the same name, which will open to the public on May 7 and will remain on display through September 5, 2022. It’s the second part of the museum’s celebration of American style. The first part, titled “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” opened last September with that year’s gala kicking it off. It will also remain on display in The Met until September 5. Honorary chairs for the evening were Tom Ford, Adam Mosseri, and Wintour. More than $16.4 million was raised last year.
