The finest and the maddest for 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion'

Co-exec producer of The Late Late Show Ben Winston went for a tuxedo. So full marks to film exec Franklin Leonard for going left-field and hitting the theme. And, for a showman of this ilk, nothing but head-to-toe Gucci at its most floral and mad will do. For 2022: 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion'. So white tie and a lot of nods to the Gilded Age. Ryan Reynolds never over-eggs the pudding. Green hair is too good for a tophat. Anderson .Paak is a show off. Except it's in New York. And, technically, it's not a costume party in the slightest, but a well-heeled charity fundraiser for the museum of the same name's Costume Institute. It's notoriously difficult to get into. So Ralph Lauren, and Michael Kors, and Calvin Klein. But you can also expect up-and-comers that have redefined the parameters of American fashion, and, more importantly, reshaped the narrative as to who gets to take part. The Met Gala at its weirdest is also the Met Gala at its finest, and theatre producer Jordan Roth went all in with a voluminous padded coat and tulle gown. And yes, some of the most arresting past events have been based on a theme that is a lot more specific (we all remember the ode to Catholicism; less so 'Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between'). Sure. The theme seems a bit abstract.

Kim Kardashian wore Marilyn Monroe's iconic "Happy Birthday Mr. President" dress on the Met Gala 2022 red carpet.

“So we will see if I can shape-shift for the night.” It makes sense that Ripley’s wouldn’t allow Monroe’s gown to be altered — even for one of the world’s most famous women. That’s why it was so shocking.” I thought to myself, what would I have done for the American theme if it had not been the Balenciaga look? “Nowadays everyone wears sheer dresses, but back then that was not the case … In a sense, it’s the original naked dress. “The idea really came to me after the gala in September last year.

With tables costing $200,000 to $300,000, last year’s event in September raised $16.4m for the Costume Institute. But it’s also a money-maker for Vogue. According to Amy Odell’s newly published biography on Wintour, now Condé Nast’s global chief content officer, it is the publisher’s pitch to sell advertising. How we choose to show up for our communities – the small acts of kindness that are remembered long after they are offered.” After two years of interruption – one cancelled by Covid-19; another under-attended due to international travel bans and vaccine requirements – Monday’s gala was reported to have returned to full strength.

The Met erected a marble sculpture of her in the gallery — in the shape of the pose from her maternity Vogue May cover. Timothée Chalamet, who has become the leading man when it comes to men’s red carpet style, was a noticeable absentee. Many fashion designers took the chance to come hand in hand with their muses too. The dress is a piece of fashion history, made by Jean Louis, and selling at auction in 2016 for a record $4.6 million. Co-hosts Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds led the way up the 13ft Metropolitan Museum of Art steps, serving some of the Met Gala drama we have come to expect.

Kim Kardashian has revealed that she went to extreme lengths to fit into Marilyn Monroe's stunning dress in time for the Met Gala.

It was such a challenge it was like a role. I had to lose 16lbs to be able to fit this. They were later seen looking positively giddy as they left their hotel after the bash. So when it didn’t fit me I wanted to cry because it can’t be altered at all.’ ‘I always thought she was extremely curvy. One month later, she traveled to Orlando to the Ripley’s vault for a final fitting – and added to Vogue that she ‘wanted to cry tears of joy’ when realizing that it fit like a glove.
