The Met Gala - the fashion industry's party of the year - was held on Monday evening and it had famous faces of pop culture pull up in The Metropolitan Museum of Art in iconic and lavish outfits.

After it was cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute returned with the costume theme "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion"
