It's a striking choice considering that, at the current time, the world is not in short supply of issues. But, by and large, celebrities who attended the star-studded event opted for pretty over bold, frills over statements. An exception was New York mayor Eric Adams, who wore a jacket with the words ‘End Gun Violence’ embroidered on the back. In short supply? Any explicit reference to the state of the world. See Lizzo playing the flute and Kim Kardashian in the sheer £3.6m ($4.8m) dress that Marilyn Monroe wore to serenade JFK in 1962. There were OTT looks (Gigi Hadid’s Matrix-worthy puffer coat, Cara Delevingne in gold body paint, Jared Leto and Alessandro Michele’s twinning) and moments. With its theme of 'Gilded Glamour and White Tie' - a reference to 19th century Gilded Age, and a nod to the popular TV show of the same name - there were enough corsets to satisfy the most dedicated Bridgerton fan. In many ways, the 2022 Met Gala did not disappoint.
