The Met Gala 2022: The Most Inspirational Looks Of All Time Past And Present

This year’s Met Gala (May 2nd) has the theme is ‘An Anthology of Fashion,’ aiming to celebrate the history of American fashion. Whether it’s Kim Kardashian or Jennifer Lopez, it is true to say there have been some legendary Met Gala looks.

Kim Kardashion channelled Marilyn Monroe today in a vintage dress worn when the movie icon sang Happy Birthday to then-president John F Kennedy in 1962.

“I had to lose 16 pounds (7.2kg) to be able to fit this,” she said on the red carpet.

“I was determined to fit it.”

Blake Lively made a huge entrance in a colour-changing Versace dress — she arrived in a copper gown that represented a “patina” effect, changing to green.

Kylie Jenner wore a bizarre bridal inspired look.

The 24-year-old billionaire cosmetics mogul wore a fishnet bridal veil attached to a backwards baseball cap. And singer Billie Eilish arrived at the 2022 Met Gala event in New York in Gucci head to toe.
