If it feels like we just had a Met Gala, it’s because we did. Last September saw the stars turning out for the American Independence-themed return of fashion’s biggest night. Now, the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute is back to its tried-and-true date, the first Monday in May, and just eight months after the last one, the Met is rolling out the carpet yet again. The “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” exhibition is a sequel of sorts to last year’s theme, “In America: A Lexicon in Fashion.” In order to avoid repetition in the style of clothing we see on the red carpet, though, Vogue has added more specifics to the dress code, including both “Gilded Glamour” and “white-tie” as part of the dress code. So, get ready for some over-the-top late 19th century-inspired fashion when the guests hit the stairs. Unfortunately, some of our favorite Gala attendees will be missing this year, but that just leaves room for new faces to come and make their mark on the event. Gala regularly Blake Lively is serving as co-chair for the event alongside her husband, Ryan Reynolds, as well as Lin Manuel Miranda and Regina King. Lively is known to turn a great Met Gala look and you are not going to want to miss out, so check back here often as we track every major gown and tux as soon as it hits the Met steps.
