Met Gala 2022: When and Where?

The 2022 Met Gala took place on Monday, 2 May 2022, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the city of dreams, New York.

Similarly, Met Gala is usually held every year on the first Monday of May, except in 2021, due to COVID restrictions.

This year the celebration of art and fashion was hosted by Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, and Regina King. At the same time, Emma Chamberlain and La La Anthony interviewed the stars on the red carpet. 

Tom Ford, Adam Mosseri, and Anna Wintour continued as honorary co-chairs in this year’s Gala.

To go back a bit into its history, Anna Wintour has been credited for running the Met Gala event since 1995.

What started as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute has become a much-loved annual celebration of fashion. 

Sadly, not much is revealed about what goes on once the stars ascend the red carpet. Even the guestlist for the event is top-secret, and only a few of the biggest names are revealed later in the evening. 

As expected of the biggest fashion event this year, we got to see the celebrities walk down the red carpet, glammed up in their head-turning gowns and whatnot.
