Entertainers, models, and industry insiders alike bring their style A-game to the steps of the legendary Metropolitan Museum of Art for the most-awaited red carpet of the year. At long last, more than two years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Met Ball is returning to its traditional calendar slot: the first Monday in May. Cue the excitement.
What is the most talked-about moment in Met Gala history?
In 2021, the Met Gala made its return during a special ceremony held in September under the theme “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” Now, the Gala is properly back and resuming its typical timing celebrating “Gilded Glamour.” From Princess Diana’s notable appearance in 1996 to Lady Gaga unveiling several outfits in front of our eyes in 2019, we’ve rounded up the most memorable moments in Met Gala history.
Men in skirts attended the gilded and glitzy Met Gala 2022, proving that traditional fashion gender norms are no longer a 21st-century ideal.
