Met Gala 2022: See what celebrities wore for fashion's biggest night

See standout looks from the 2022 Met Gala.

It's Met Gala Monday.

One of fashion's biggest nights is back, and celebrities have brought out their very best looks for the affair.

Held in New York City, the theme, "In America: An Anthology of Fashion," serves as the second iteration of the Costume Institute exhibition's series focused on American style. The first part, titled "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion," was last year's theme.

In addition to this year's theme, there is also an associated dress code: gilded glamour. This style of dress reflects the gilded age of New York that historically went from 1870 to 1890.

Vogue's live stream co-host La La Anthony turned heads in a rouge dress and dazzling headpiece while Kim Kardashian shined in Marilyn Monroe's iconic "Happy Birthday Mr. President" dress.

Ahead, see some of the most standout looks of the night.
