Celebrities hit the red carpet for the annual Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Always guided by a theme, they were given the dress code – gilded glamour and white tie – for this year’s event.

As usual, the sartorial theme comes from the exhibition the gala launches, which for 2022 is “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” the second instalment of star curator Andrew Bolton’s two-part show exploring the roots of American style.

Vogue’s Anna Wintour, who has run the gala since 1995, continued as one of the night’s honorary co-chairs, along with designer Tom Ford and Instagram’s Adam Mosseri.

Here are some of the best looks from the red carpet:
