One of the fashion’s biggest events, the Met Gala, saw some of the biggest moments in the history of fashion in New York. The first Monday of May is quite special for the fashion world. Also known as the Oscars of fashion, the gala involves figures from the worlds of movies, music, sports, politics, and more, who walk up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum in a parade of extravaganza and wonderful looks.
This year, the museum is celebrating “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” a continuation of the same showcase that debuted last September, the first time the Gala deviated from its set date, thanks to the pandemic.
The exhibition’s first part followed American fashion, whereas the second half celebrates ‘Glided Glamour’ – the styles of the Gilded Age, which spanned from 1870 to 1899. It was the era of white ties and voluminous ball gowns and the utmost showcase of wealth.
