The Met Gala, one of the biggest nights in fashion and often referred to as the First Monday in May, returned to its usual place in the calendar May 2.
Like Broadway, the event was affected by the pandemic for the past two years with a cancellation in 2020 and a postponement to September in 2021. Its 2022 comeback saw the fashion gala host many stage favorites. Celebrities from across the arts and entertainment celebrated the new exhibition “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in an evening co-chaired by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Regina King. This year’s theme was Gilded Glamour, a take on 19th century fashion through a modern perspective with a white tie dress code.
Take a peek at all of the stage veterans from Broadway to the West End, and the artists bringing theatre to the silver screen dressed to the nines for the evening’s red carpet.
