The Met Gala 2022 returned to New York City on May 2, the first Monday of the month, and it was a star-studded bash indeed. With the theme “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” following last year’s “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion”, the fundraising event had a dress code of “gilded glamour”.

During fashion’s biggest night out, we saw lots of gold and embroidery mixed with white, burgundy and pink – thanks to Valentino and its dedicated pink collection. A sea of colour palettes was matched with voluminous silhouettes, fringes and glitter. Vintage fashion emerged as a prominent trend this year as stars like Emma Stone recycled her wedding dress and the Louis Vuitton gang all donned an archival piece each.
