The 2022 Met Gala theme has gotten some mixed reactions. The much-anticipated Met Gala is back on the first Monday in May this year following a brief hiatus due to the coronavirus. Guests attending part two of September's event have been told the theme is "Gilded Glamour and White Tie." As usual, the sartorial theme comes from the exhibit the gala launches — "In America: An Anthology of Fashion," which is the second of star curator Andrew Bolton’s two-part show exploring the roots of American style.
However, many thought it ironic considering the current state of the American economy.The U.S. economy shrank at a 1.4% annual rate last quarter despite solid spending by consumers and businesses. Blake Lively, Taylor Swift and Kendall Jenner appear on the red carpet at past Met Galas.

"Gilded Glamour? They're begging for the pitchforks, aren't they?" Tom Bevans, co-founder and President of Real Clear Politics, tweeted. "The WHCA and Met Gala just a few days apart, right after today's economic news. Just absolutely perfect optics for all involved," another reporter added.

"Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj would CHEW the Gilded Glamour theme for this year's Met Gala," one user wrote alongside photos of the two. "The Met Gala’s theme is Gilded Glamour? Doja’s been ready," another user added. The theme and attendees usually attract some criticism from onlookers.
