On April 11, 2022, three weeks ahead of the Met Gala Vogue announced the official dress code for the event: "gilded glamour, white-tie."
The fashion magazine said that the dress code will be similar to Edith Wharton’s Age of Innocence and The House of Mirth.
The guest will be asked to embody the Gilded Age New York era, circa 1870 to 1890.
Who is hosting Met Gala 2022?
When The Met broke the news of the event's theme, In America: An Anthology of Fashion, fashion sleuths wondered who was selected as the extravaganza's hosts.
From their social media declaration, the institute revealed: "Tom Ford, Adam Mosseri, and Anna Wintour will continue their roles as honorary co-chairs for the event, following last September’s benefit for part one of the “In America” exhibition."
"The #CostumeInstituteBenefit returns on May 2 with co-chairs Regina King, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Lin-Manuel Miranda."
Regina, Blake, and Ryan were all past guests who will take on the roles of the event's co-chairs.
Not only is Lin-Manuel on this year's committee, he will also make his Met Ball debut during the night's red carpet.
