This year, the dress code on the invitation reads, “gilded glamour,” with specific instructions to wear “white tie,” not black tie
Photo: ALISON COHEN ROSA/HBO It’s time for the Met Gala again, and if you’re feeling a little déjà vu this year, don’t worry, you’re not crazy. Traditionally, the annual event — oft described as the “Oscars of fashion” — takes place at the museum on the first Monday in May, but because of the pandemic, it skipped a year in 2020 and was held in September 2021 instead.
Coined by Mark Twain, the “Gilded Age” designation refers to the period of time from 1870 to 1890 when American innovation boomed and the upper crust of New York society thrived. It’s when all the names we know today as subway stops and street signs — including “old money” like the Astors and “new money” like the Vanderbilts — built and reveled in their enormous fortunes.
People with money have always liked to throw and attend parties, and they were exceptionally ostentatious during this era. If you want a taste of what the Met Gala might look like, watch the finale of the new HBO show The Gilded Age, in which a fictional Mrs. Vanderbilt throws her daughter a coming-out ball at her uptown mansion.
My best guess is that there’s really no theme that says Screw sweatpants better than “gilded glamour, white tie.” And Anna Wintour is a powerful woman like Mrs. Astor who respects tradition and loves a good costume party. It’s also notable that we’re returning to the time when Vogue was founded, almost like a reset.
