2022 Met Gala Round-Up: Lizzo, SZA, Kid Cudi, Nicki Minaj, Future, Cardi B, Gunna, Chlöe, Normani & More

Social media users are finding it difficult to navigate their apps after platforms have been overtaken with images from this year’s Met Gala. Celebrities from all walks of the industry are strutting the red carpet in the finest of ‘fits as their fashion choices pay homage to the 2022 theme: “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.” This theme is the second part of last year’s focus which was “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.”

The Museum of Modern Art’s Costume Institute head curator Andrew Bolton spoke about the inspiration behind the exhibition that goes live later this week. Bolton’s primary focus is inclusivity in fashion and he told Vogue that the exhibition will “[provide] a historical context for Lexicon, in a way.”

“The stories really reflect the evolution of American style, but they also explore the work of individual tailors, dress-makers, and designers,” he added. “What’s exciting for me is that some of the names will be very familiar to students of fashion, like Charles James, Halston, and Oscar de la Renta, but a lot of the other names really have been forgotten, overlooked or relegated into the footnotes of fashion history. So one of the main intentions of the exhibition is to spotlight the talents and contributions of these individuals, and many of them are women.”
