The 2022 Met Gala theme is 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion', and the dress code is 'Gilded Glamour and White Tie'. The theme will focus on inclusivity in fashion, and the exhibition will showcase unsung heroes who have advanced the American design world. Going by the theme, celebrities can be expected to go full-on period dramas and focus on the era of American fashion in the last decades of the 19th century. Therefore, there is a possibility that we will see corsets and bustiers.
