The Met Gala is arguably one of the most frantic red carpet occasions for celebrities, stylists, and tastemakers (the event is held on the first Monday of May). On this night, the fashion standard is set high as Hollywood's biggest stars arrive in lavish costumes while attempting to keep on-trend. And between standing for the pit of photographers and descending the numerous steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in their dramatic appearance, the setting might feel intense. Celebrities like Blake Lively delved into the Gilded Age dress code at the 2022 Met Gala, however, and the top fashion outfits complemented this fascinating atmosphere.
