The best looks of the Met Gala 2022, from Marilyn Monroe’s Kim Kardashian to Kris Jenner as Jackie Kennedy

The Met Gala 2022 red carpet recently wrapped up. In its 74 years in existence, the Costume Institute Ball has transformed from a New York socialite charity event to a global pop cultural phenomenon with an impressive guest list (American Vogue’s). annual editor-in-chief Anna Wintour claims personally). Half a century ago, Bianca Jagger, Jacqueline Kennedy, Madonna, Diana Ross, Elizabeth Taylor and even Andy Warhol shone at a charity event. And in the new millennium, trendsetters and influencers took their place in the face of the Karadashian-Jenner family, the Hadid brothers, Harry Styles, Rihanna, and more.

Now, the red carpet is followed not only by fashionistas, but also by the whole world. Literally. The day after the event, the network is literally teeming with memes, and glossy media are creating all sorts of fashion ratings. This year, of course, was no exception. This year’s excitement and interest is not less than usual. A few days before the event, new rumors surfaced on the Web from time to time. At first, the tabloids wrote that Kim Kardashian would take the podium in her iconic transparent dress with Marilyn Monroe stones, and a few days later, the same media claimed that this time we will see all the Kardashian-Jenner sisters at the ball. . By the way, both rumors were confirmed, but more on that later.

The theme of the event, which sounds like “Gilded Glamor”, deserves special attention. This is a kind of allusion to the era of rapid economic growth in America from 1870 to 1900. The fashion of the Gilded Age was one of extremes. All kinds of fabrics, catchy decor, curtains, ribbons, bows and tassels became the trend. And fashionistas of those times approached the choice of clothes on the principle of “the more, the better.” Meanwhile, the topic has become a logical continuation of the event held in 2021. Met Gala 2022 will end in America: A Dictionary of Fashion.

The main color of the event was, of course, gold. Many took the matter literally, so the red carpet shone not from camera flashes, but from stones and sequins in guests’ costumes. Chloe Kardashian, Camila Mendes, Carey Mulligan, Megan Thee Stallion, Chloe Bailey, Ariana DeBos and many more appeared at the ball in gold and silver sequined dresses. And Cara Delevingne came up with a nude gilded chest and a target for the body.

One of those who stuck to the dress code as much as possible was Billie Eilish. The singer opted for a Gucci corset dress with floral decor.

In general, the corset is one of the main attributes of the “gilded” era. Therefore, at the Met Gala 2022, Paloma Elsesser, Kerry Washington, Tessa Thompson, Maisie Williams and Gigi Hadid complemented their image with this element of the wardrobe.

By the way, men also do not lag behind and boldly wear corsets as part of the suit. Watch Evan Mock and Ben Platt do it.

Many guests strayed a bit from the topic, but they did so very effectively. For example, Irina Shayk came out in a leather all-around look, rap diva Nicki Minaj opted for leather pants and a fluffy cape, and Bella Hadid came out with a corset and a translucent skirt (she completed her daring look with pearl earrings and a leg bracelet). Meanwhile, all three were at Burberry.

However, the leading actor of the night was Kim Kardashian, who appeared on the red carpet with Marilyn Morneau’s very legendary transparent dress. He needed to lose 7 kilos to fit in. Kim completed the image with a white fur cape and was accompanied by Pete Davidson.

Ironically, Kris Jenner arrived at the prom in an Oscar de la Renta toga gown, a direct quote from Jackie Kennedy’s appearance during her visit to Cambodia. By the way, at the Oscars in 2003, J. Lo also paid tribute to the former First Lady, who appeared in a Valentino dress.

Since we are talking about the Karadashian-Jenner couple, it is worth noting that they first appeared at the Met Gala in full force. Kendall Jenner opted for a Prada dress with a long train, Kylie appeared as the rapper’s bride, and Khloe opted for a gold Moschino dress for her debut. Courtney, of course, appeared in the company of Travis Barker, and Thom Browne chose a short shirt and skirt.

Even more memorable images were collected in our selection.
