Here’s a look at a few of the first celebrities who hit the Met Gala 2022 red carpet.
The stars have begun their grand arrivals at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, marking the official kickoff of the 2022 Met Gala.
Vanessa Hudgens and La La Anthony, Vogue’s livestream hosts, were among the event’s early arrivals. Hudgens wore a sheer black Moschino gown paired with Jimmy Cho shoes, while Anthony sparkled in a reddish-brown satin cut-out dress designed by LaQuan Smith.

Singer and actress Janelle Monae came dripping in sparkles with a black and white hooded Ralph Lauren gown, according to Vogue.
