Top 5 met gala 2022 looks that slayed this year

It’s fashion’s biggest night of the year! It’s the night where we all look forward to seeing our favourite celebrities decked out in fabulous outfits and slaying the red carpet. It’s a way for us to live vicariously. We look at the met gala and imagine what we would wear to it. Like this, met gala plays a huge role in shaping fashion as we know it today. But first we must know what met gala is for. Every event, especially an important one such as this needs to happen for a good cause. The Met Gala is an annual fundraising gala held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City which is a very important monument in the world of fashion. This event is highly prestigious and invitations are highly sought after.

Every year it is hosted on the first Monday of May and follows a very specific and unique theme. This year’s theme was “gilded glamour”. Sounds very period-drama esque. I was expecting a lot of gold- shaded ornaments, ball dresses, corsets etc. Maybe like the look you wear, going to a dinner with royalty. Let’s just say many celebs did not understand the assignment. But that doesn’t mean a few gems did not shine through. Let’s look at the the iconic met gala 2022 looks that shone through this year.

5. Lily Altridge

Supermodel Lily Altridge graced the red carpet with her shining- bright dress (excuse the pun). Yes, she was wearing what could only be described as the “dress of our dreams”. She was totally on theme by wearing a custom design by Khaite that was covered in 170,000 crystals and took more than 180 hours of craftsmanship to complete. It was paired with equally shing gloves and a breathtaking headpiece. Royal Indeed!

4. Kim Kardashian

Reality-star Kim Kardashian really served us those old-timey iconic looks. Literally! Kim wore the legendary dress that the evergreen Marilyn Monroe wore when she sang “Happy Birthday” to Mr. John F Kennedy, The president of America at the time. The dress is quite beautiful with shiny beads laid out on a gold/nude dress. Really Exquisite!

3. Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain was serving us those supernatural looks when she wore this all-Gucci burgundy sequin gown with a silver snake slithering across it, dramatic sleeves and a matching headpiece. You may think she was not on theme but she may be the one to be most on theme because during the time period “Gilded Glamour” was most famous, rich people were mainly into the supernatural, and Jessica was out here looking like a psychic. So, mission accomplished.

2. Lizzo

Lizzo charmed us all by wearing a corset dress in black silk moiré with a dropped skirt, and an oversized chesterfield coat in black duchess satin. The coat was adorned with silk satin stitch embroidery. I don’t understand half the words in that sentence which means it is extremely fancy and rich. Designer Thom Browne’s representative confirmed that this dress took 22000 hours and 13 different materials to make. She also paired the look with eccentric-looking nails and a golden flute. Damn! She really went all out.

1.  Blake Lively

Blake lively is truly the “Queen of the Met”. Ooh man! Her look turned heads and earned gasps of surprise from everybody there. It was like seeing a standing ovation. She wore a reversible gown with intricate detailing that was based on the statue of liberty. When revealed fully, her dress had the hint of bluish- green at the ends which is the iconic colour of the statue of Liberty The room literally froze when she revealed her dress fully. She paired that look with gloves that were also reversible and a tiara that is fit for a queen like her. I’m going to be looking out for Blake Lively every Met Gala from now because she is serving us looks to remember for a lifetime.
