After a year hiatus, the Met Gala [1] is back to celebrate American fashion. Anna Wintour tapped Timothée Chalamet [2], Billie Eilish [3], Amanda Gorman [4], and Naomi Osaka to cochair the event, while Tom Ford, Instagram's Adam Mosseri, and Anna Wintour herself served as the honorary chairs of the "In America"-themed Gala.
Prepare to see some bold looks [5] — like Billie Eilish's floor-sweeping Oscar de la Renta gown [6] — as well as stunning looks with special tributes [7], representing America both today and yesterday at this year's event [8]. While the impression of 2019's Met Gala "Camp: Notes on Fashion" still holds strong in our memory, we have a feeling this year could top it! Ahead, see every single arrival.
