Couple get engaged at the Met Gala
Entertainment Tonight
The most glamorous night in the showbiz diary arrived yesterday, with some of the biggest stars on the planet gathering for the Met Gala 2022.
The glitzy event takes place on the first Monday in May to raise money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute - and to give celebs an excuse to get dressed up, of course.
There’s always a theme and this year guests were asked to dress in the style of ‘gilded glamour’, based on the opulent years in New York City between 1870 and 1890.
There’s always plenty of talking points, too, and things were no different last night.

She later called the theme ‘ridiculous’ and said she was there for the free drinks. Fair play.

Kim K in Marilyn Monroe’s dress stole the show
This is more than just a dress. Marilyn Monroe was the biggest star in the world. A sexual icon who rose up from nothing to become a legend. It makes perfect sense in 2022 why Kim K would be the one chosen to wear this dress. She IS a modern day Marilyn. Incredible. #MetGalapic.twitter.com/TCBpJSCQ3f— Daniel Preda (@Daniel Preda) 1651538602
