It’s that time of year again, when people talk about and examine stylish looks in the days and weeks leading up to and after the Met Gala. The Met Gala red carpet, which is an invitation-only event, will take place on May 2 in New York, and the event will be broadcast live in India on May 3 in the early morning.
The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, which debuted part one of the ‘American fashion exhibit’ last year, will debut part two this year, according to The Independent. The subject is ‘In America: An Anthology of Fashion,’ which follows the Met Gala 2021 theme, ‘In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,’ which took place in September.

It has been moved back to the first Monday in May, as it was before the epidemic. According to Vogue, Andrew Bolton, the Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of the Costume Institute, “focuses on the foundations of American style and honours the faceless and unsung pioneers of US design” in his second show.
“They’re really interacting with the premise for the show, which is this sort of new language for American fashion,” Bolton said of part one, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” and what viewers may anticipate from the second instalment. That’s been a lot of fun…”
He went on to say that the “stories really reflect the evolution of American style,” but that they also look into the “work of individual tailors, dressmakers, and designers,” and that one of the “main intentions of the exhibition is to spotlight the talents and contributions of these individuals, many of whom are women.”

While the dress code for ‘In America: A Lexicon of Fashion’ was American independence in September 2021, the dress code for ‘In America: An Anthology of Fashion’ is “gilded splendour, white-tie.” Attendees are expected to draw inspiration from ‘Gilded Age New York,’ which is thought to have spanned two decades in the country, from 1870 to 1890, and was marked by “exceptional affluence, cultural upheaval, and industrialisation.”
“Fashion at that time was one of excess,” according to Vogue. “…fabric grew faster and less expensive to make,” and “women’s gowns frequently contained a mix of materials, such as satin, silk, velvet, and fringe, all embellished with over-the-top textures like lace, bows, frills, and ruffles.”

“The colours were deep and rich jewel tones. Lighter colours were reserved for use at home… When going out, hats were a must, and they were frequently embellished with feathers… Corsets were widely worn…”
We can almost certainly anticipate to see versions of the stated trend on the red carpet in a few hours.
