After being postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, one of fashion's biggest nights is back.
This year's event was centered around the theme "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion."
"We called the dress code this time — American independence. And we really want people to have fun and enjoy dressing up again," Vogue editor-in-chief and Met Gala honorary chair Anna Wintour told "Good Morning America's" co-anchor, Robin Roberts.
Co-chairing with Wintour is a panel of iconic Gen Z and millennial notables including Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Naomi Osaka and Amanda Gorman.
