Met Gala 2022: What to expect

April 29 (UPI) -- The Met Gala will return next week.

The event, formally known at the Costume Institute Benefit, will take place Monday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

The annual gala raises funds for the Costume Institute. The high-profile event is known for its celebrity guest list and fashions on the red carpet.

This year's theme is "In America: An Anthology of Fashion," inspired by the Costume Institute exhibition of the same name. The dress code is "gilded glamour."

Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Regina King and Lin-Manuel Miranda will host this year's gala with co-chairs Anna Wintour, Tom Ford and Adam Mosseri.

Here's the details for the 2022 Met Gala:

What
