Met Gala 2022 - In America: Anthology of Fashion, theme Gilded Glamour

Inspiration for the theme is provided from The Metropolitan Museum of Art fashion exhibition In America: Anthology of Fashion. The Met Gala is always a much anticipated event, showcasing bold, beautiful, always fantastic and sometimes crazy designs. There is one core thread that pulls everything together at the Met Gala and that is a passion for fashion! 

The Met Gala allows all guests, celebrities and designers a licence to be fabulous and truly express themselves through the medium of fashion. At the Met Gala nothing is too much and everything is possible! 

The outfits worn at the Annual Met Gala can provide us with such inspiration and are often the starting  point for fashion trends, with celebrities leading the way. Many of the styles and colour palettes showcased at the Met Gala are the creative inception of the next season's fashion collections.  Although, I’m not sure anyone else other than the amazing Rhianna can wear jewelled Catholic vestments and topped with a mitre headdress...a truly Met Gala statement outfit!

The Gilded Glamour theme of this year’s Met Gala was filled with so many possibilities and at the very centre of many of the designs was a core element of Corsetry!  Many of the sumptuous gowns worn at this year's Met Gala had Corsets within the core construction of the dress, placing Corsets at the very centre of many designs. Here at Corset Story, we have been using corsets as an integral part of dress designs for many years and we understand the importance of a truly well designed corset. Integrating a corset into the core construction of a dress gives the wearer the full confidence and empowerment that only a corset can achieve.

Whatever the occasion we have you covered with our Best Selling Corset Dresses!

Not all outfits at the Met Gala were dresses, some designers and celebrities selected to have Corsets as an additional overgarment, using a Corset as a central statement piece for the design. With an Overbust or Underbust as the central focus of the outfit it created some of the key standout pieces from this year's Met Gala. 

If you are looking for inspiration and wanting to create your own spin on several Met Gala looks, we are here to help!
