A Met Gala staple. The 2022 Met Gala red carpet wouldn’t have been complete without an appearance from style icon Anna Wintour, the event’s trustee who has honorarily co-chaired the event for decades.The Vogue editor-in-chief, 72, wowed at the Party of the Year on Monday, May 2, ​while walking the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This year’s theme is “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” — specifically with a “Gilded Glamour” dress code — and Wintour opted to sparkle in a feathery frock detailed with multicolored black, orange, blue and purple beads in various zig-zag patterns.

The most buzzed-about part of her ensemble, however, was her queenly accessory: the regal tiara she adorned atop her legendary dirty blonde bob.​The fashion guru surprised style-watchers at last year’s Met Gala, opting for a bright, floral Oscar de la Renta gown over her tradition of wearing Chanel to the event.The 2021 Met Gala was certainly one to go bold — and for Wintour to depart from her usual Chanel — since the 2020 soiree was canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The coronavirus also impacted the date of the 2021 fashion event, which was pushed to September of that year instead of the usual first Monday in May.Last year’s theme was “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” a similar sentiment to this year’s motto (and museum exhibit), which explains the magazine editor’s decision to go with an American designer like de la Renta.
