The first, "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion," is just the beginning and tonight's red carpet looks could be a preview of what's set to go down with "In America: An Anthology of Fashion" on May 5, 2022, the first Monday in May of next year. Together, the two exhibits celebrate American fashion and, for the first time, ever, create a two-part Met Gala that gives stars, models, and designers the chance to wear two show-stopping looks to celebrate American fashion. Co-chairs Amanda Gorman, Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, and Naomi Osaka make up the youngest group of co-chairs, ever, and the guest list reflected that, with attendees including Emma Chamberlain and Olivia Rodrigo. What to Know About the 2021 Met Gala "I wanted both shows to be collection-focused exhibitions," Andrew Bolton, the Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of the Costume Institute told Vogue. "And I've been really impressed by American designers' responses to the social and political climate, particularly around issues of body inclusivity and gender fluidity, and I'm just finding their work very, very self-reflective. I really do believe that American fashion is undergoing a Renaissance. I think young designers in particular are at the vanguard of discussions about diversity and inclusion, as well as sustainability and transparency." 01 of 73 Megan Fox Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images Dress: Dundas 02 of 73 Keke Palmer Photo by John Shearer/WireImage Dress: Sergio HudsonJewelry: Ana Khouri 03 of 73 Ilana Glazer Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue Dress: Aliétte 04 of 73 Timothée Chalamet Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images Suit: Haider Ackermann 05 of 73 Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue Dress: ValentinoSuit: Valentino 06 of 73 Anna Wintour Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue Dress: Oscar de la Renta 07 of 73 Tom Ford and Heron Preston Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue 08 of 73 Amanda Gorman Photo by John Shearer/WireImage Dress: Vera WangJewelry: ChopardShoes: Stuart Weitzman 09 of 73 Dan Levy Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images Suit: Loewe 10 of 73 Julia Garner Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue 11 of 73 Ella Emhoff Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images 12 of 73 Maisie Williams Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images 13 of 73 Adrien Brody and Georgina Chapman Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images 14 of 73 Evan Mock Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images Suit: Thom Browne 15 of 73 Barbie Ferreira Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images 16 of 73 Saweetie Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic Dress: Christian Cowan 17 of 73 Billie Eilish Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue Dress: Oscar de la Renta 18 of 73 Yara Shahidi Photo by John Shearer/WireImage Dress: Dior 19 of 73 Channing Tatum Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images Suit: Versace 20 of 73 Naomi Osaka Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue Dress: Louis Vuitton 21 of 73 Lil Nas X Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images Suit: Versace 22 of 73 Serena Williams Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images 23 of 73 Grimes Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images 24 of 73 Jennifer Hudson Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue Dress: AZ Factory 25 of 73 Kate and Laura Mulleavy Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue 26 of 73 Kaia Gerber Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images Dress: Oscar de la Renta 27 of 73 Iman Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic Dress: Harris Reed 28 of 73 Megan Thee Stallion Photo by John Shearer/WireImage Dress, bag: CoachShoes: Stuart Weitzman 29 of 73 Debbie Harry Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images Dress: Zac Posen 30 of 73 Elliot Page Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images 31 of 73 MJ Rodriguez Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images Dress: Thom Browne 32 of 73 Kim Petras Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic Dress: Collina Strada 33 of 73 Karlie Kloss and Wes Gordon Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue 34 of 73 Tracee Ellis Ross Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images Dress: BalenciagaJewelry: Tiffany & Co. 35 of 73 Addison Rae Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images Dress: Gucci 36 of 73 Irina Shayk Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue 37 of 73 Taraji P.
