Met Gala 2022: Best fashion from the red carpet
Check out the best looks as the stars arrived at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Monday night.
At the press event of the exhibition prior to the gala, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden opening speech at the Met, highlighting the “rich and deep” history of American design.
“It’s a story of innovation and ingenuity, of rebellion and renewal,” she said. “It’s often written by people in the shadows, not recognized for their influence and art, but here at the Met their stories are told. Their voices are lifted and their work can shine.”
“I’m always looking forward to seeing how designers interpret the theme with their own creativity, identity and twist, and I’m sure this year will be no exception,” Hilfiger said via email. “The Met Gala is all about having an open mind and thinking outside the box.”
“The events embraced by industry insiders and the masses alike maximize creativity,” she said via email, adding, “I hope guests bring out their most decadent yet playful looks. “
