The Best And Worst Of The 2022 Met Gala

The first Monday of every May, the Met Gala comes around. Every year the event is held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. First starting out in 1948 the event was created to raise funds for the museum in which it is held. Each year some of the most famous celebrities are invited to walk the red carpet. Each year a theme is presented for the guests to follow. Though some cannot follow the theme very well.  This year in particular the theme was “In America.” The point of the theme was to basically throw back to the past. Some celebrities like Blake Lively, and Kim Kardashian really hit it off while Kourtney Kardashian had some issues with many. 

One of the most magnificent  outfits of the 2022  Met Gala was Blake Lively’s. Her dress when she arrived was mostly golden. The details in the dress represented the old architecture of the New York buildings. Additionally, the dress at the beginning contained a very large bow. About halfway up the museum’s stairs she untied the bow, and a long wonderful green dress train was unraveled. The beautiful train was set to symbolize the oxidation of the Statue of Liberty.The oxidation of the Statue of Liberty meaning factures like pollution and climate added to make the statue green. The dress was absolutely stunning and arguably one of the best of the entire night. She spent so much time on every single detail including her nails, small building designs on the dress, and even her crown. With this much effort given, in my opinion she was the best dressed of the entire event. 

Another absolute showstopper was Kim Kardashian. In my opinion she showed some of the most dedication to the outfit. Kim Kardashian tried on Marilyn Monroe’s dress she wore when she sang “Happy Birthday Mr President.” The dress did not fit at the time three weeks before the Met. Kim decided she would either fit into the dress or not go to the Met Gala that year. She went on a diet and lost 16 pounds in three weeks. Kim also bleached her hair blonde to look more like Marilyn. Though after the carpet the Kardashian took off the dress and put on a replica. In my opinion her outfit and idea was probably the best and most talked about. The dedication to the dress was unmatched. Kim Kardashian also hit the theme right out of the park with the throwback to past fashion trends. Overall Kim showed up with one of the best outfits. 

Kourtney Kardashian’s outfit was arguably one of the worst outfits of the 2022 Met Gala. Overall the outfit looked unprepared. One person, Tik Tok creator Shelby Lane, tried imitating the outfit. She rigidly cut out a white top and put sports wrap around her waist. Then as her skirt she used a black business blouse. Overall the look was incredibly similar. The point of this was to show how bad Kourtney’s outfit looked. I would have to agree although I will give her props for two elements of the outfit. She definitely followed the theme, and she matched with her fiance, Travis Barker. Just because of those two things her outfit earns some credit. Though overall the outfit looked pretty tacky. 

Each year celebrities come to the Met Gala and some look stunning, and others look like they received the invite the night before. This year I felt the theme was pretty easy to follow. Though some celebrities seemed to not feel the same. Kim Kardashian, and Blake Lively were great examples of people that knew how to follow a theme. Even though Kourtney Kardashian followed the theme perfectly her outfit was very disappointing. Regardless, each year some outfits are going to resonate with the people, and other years the outfits are not.
