The 10 Most Iconic Looks From The Met Gala

Bring on Met Gala 2022! - by Mia Iorfino
  • 23 Feb 2022

Let’s be real, if we aren’t scrolling through TikTok for the latest fashion trends, we are holding out for one of the biggest fashion events of the year…. The Met Gala. Lucky for us, this morning The Met took to Instagram stories to announce this year’s theme, ‘In America: An Anthology of Fashion’, which is a play on last year’s theme ‘In America: A Lexicon in Fashion’. 

WATCH: Met Gala 2021: Best Red Carpet Fashion

‘In America: A Lexicon in Fashion’ focused mostly on 20th and 21st century fashion and its ties to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

This year the focus will shift exploring the “unfamiliar sartorial natives filtered through the imagination of America’s most visionary film directors”, Andrew Bolton, curator of the Costume Institute, shared via The Met Gala’s official Instagram account.

Speaking to Vogue, Bolton further explained that this year’s event will celebrate quintessential American style and will explore the work of tailors, dressmakers, and designers, including Oscar de la Renta, Charles James, Tom Ford and more. 

We are certain that this year’s theme will not disappoint. But one thing that remains a mystery is who will be given the golden ticket to host another star-studded red-carpet. (Although, let the record show that our dream host is Euphoria actress Alexa Demie, tbh.)

The countdown is officially on (!!!) so we took it upon ourselves to round up 10 of the most iconic Met Gala looks of all time. Here goes...

Hollywood Glam meets Met Gala by none other than Taylor Swift. She donned this stunning head-turning gown by Oscar De La Renta and we were left wondering who would be the one to sweep her off her feet.
