We’re back, baby! After a year-long Covid- induced hiatus and another four-month delay, the Met Gala descended on The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York last night.

The (usually) annual fundraising event for the Costume Institute Gala is a parade of the who’s-who — so did last night represent a changing of the guard? While the guest list of yore was strictly old school A list, the 2021 gang was a Gen Z brat pack. TikTokers and YouTubers including Addison Rae, Emma Chamberlain and Dixie D’Amelio rubbed shoulders with Met Gala stalwarts Anna Wintour, Kim K and Rihanna.

Instagram. The headliner? Justin Bieber. Message received, loud and clear.

WHEN THE 2022 MET GALA theme, Gilded Glamour, was announced, pretty much everyone was left scratching their heads.
