And that’s a wrap! The 2022 Met Gala red carpet is slowly coming to a close.
In summary, we saw bedazzled garments, intricate embroidery and gold layered on gold as guests interpreted the Gilded Glamor theme. Both men and women sported corsets, and with them came padded hips, dragging trains and puffy sleeves, harking back to the exaggerated silhouette of the late 1800s.
Some key moments:
Kim Kardashian cast herself as Marilyn Monroe. At least for a short while, when she took the original, multimillion-dollar dress Monroe wore when she sang “Happy birthday, Mr President” for a spin.
A Jared Leto drama ensued, when fashion’s “mystery man” Fredrik Robertsson arrived in a dramatic number reminiscent of Leto’s experimental outfits of past red carpets and was briefly mistaken for the actor.
And an engagement rounded off the night, when NYC cultural affairs commissioner Laurie Cumbo accepted a proposal from her partner Bobby Digi Olisa. The Metropolitan Museum of Art called in “an amazing moment on an amazing night”.

Kris Jenner is fitting the first lady theme.
Her one-shoulder yellow ensemble resembles a light green dress worn by Jacqueline Kennedy on a visit to Cambodia in 1967.

Kim Kardashian in Marilyn Monroe’s gown
Kim Kardashian has worn the dress Marilyn Monroe wore to sing “Happy birthday, Mr President” to JFK. (Yes, it is the real one.)
Though it was only worn for few minutes on the carpet before Kardashian changed, this is the first time someone other than Monroe has donned the multimillion-dollar Bob Mackie crystal-embellished gown. Usually it is stored in a temperature-controlled vault.
