Metropolitan Museum of Art gearing up to once again host the annual Met Gala. What happens inside the Met Gala?The 2022 Met Gala, which will return to its pre-pandemic date of the first Monday in May, will follow the theme: “In America: An Anthology of Fashion”. The theme is based on part-two of an exhibit from the New York City museum’s Costume Institute, and follows the 2021 theme: “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.

”In addition to an occasion to pull out all the fashion stops, the Met Gala also marks the opening of the Costume Institute’s annual exhibition. Like previous years, this year’s Met Gala is likely to follow a similar schedule, with some of the biggest stars expected to pose on the iconic steps of the museum ahead of the event. After the red carpet portion of the evening, the celebrities, influencers and other notable guests will make their way inside the museum - at which point the Met Gala becomes more shrouded in mystery, as it has never been revealed what exactly occurs inside during the invite-only party.

From a cocktail hour to a sit-down dinner and musical performance, this is what we know about what goes on inside the Met Gala. As The New York Times’ journalist Vanessa Friedman aptly put it in 2018, what goes on inside the Met Gala is “a secret,” as she noted that attendees are “banned” from posting on social media about what happens after the red carpet. That being said, there are certain things we know for sure, and some details that are rumoured, about what attendees do once inside the museum on the night.
