Gorgeous Gowns That Celebrities Wore To The Met Gala
The Met Gala has been referred to as the Party of the Year, the Oscars of the East Coast. It is fashion’s biggest night. Any way you look at it, the Met Gala is an evening to remember. Here are the best celebrity gowns and dresses, including those that don’t fit the met gala based theme.
The evening was hosted by Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Regina King. They were joined by honorary co-chairs Anna Wintour, Tom Ford and Instagram’s Adam Mosseri, plus a who’s who of the world’s high profile stars.
The theme of the Met Gala is one of the most important parts of this event. It is added at the bottom of the Met Gala invitations sent every spring, in a small inscription. This shows how vital the dress code is. In 2020, it was “Camp: Notes on Fashion”. In 2021, it was “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” and this year it is “In America: An Anthology of Fashion”. Here are lovely celebrity looks including those that don’t fit the theme.
During that era, fashion was over the top. It was based on excess. Thanks to innovations in electricity and steam-powered looms, fabric became faster and cheaper to produce. As a result, women’s dresses often featured a combination of many textiles, like satin, silk, velvet, and fringe, all adorned with over-the-top textures like lace, bows, frills, and ruffles.
