Met Gala 2022: Today, the fashion's biggest night, saw some of the biggest names from across the world arrive in New York to walk the Met Gala red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also attended the soiree with her designer for the night Joseph Altuzarra. She also wore a creation by him that has gone viral on social media because of the secret embroidery it carried on the hems. The design honoured all the women that have inspired Hillary throughout her life, including Dorothy Rodham.

On the first May of Monday, many celebrities walked the red carpet at the Met Gala with the theme 'Gilded Glamour'. Hillary Clinton also made an appearance at the gala in a Joseph Altuzarra floor-length gown which drew inspiration from the women of America's past that have impacted her.

The designer told Vogue, "I knew that I wanted the dress to have a personal component for her. When someone like Hillary goes to the Met, it's not just like, 'there's Hillary at the Met and she's wearing a dress.' It has a lot of significance. I felt like I had to be very thoughtful about what the dress would mean to the theme and to the occasion."

Meanwhile, the Former First Lady of the United States wore the maroon gown with her short tresses tied in a side-parted half hairdo, matching heels, ruby and diamond embellished earrings, rings, minimal make-up and wine-hued lip shade.
