While award functions like the Grammys and Oscars dictate a certain dress code of elegance, the MET Gala allows for experimentation. Founded for the purpose of fundraising and heightening awareness about the art and cultural exhibits at its Museum, from its inception it has encouraged its guests to play dress up with the theme and showcase their experimental side. So in a sea of lace-up corsets, poufy hairstyles and ruffled silhouettes, there were some who stood out with their sartorial choices and made their way to the top of our best dressed list at the MET Gala 2022. From Billie Eilish to Natasha Poonawalla, take a look at who they are and what they wore.
