NEW YORK (AP) —There was plenty of shimmery gold for Monday’s Meta Gala-themed to gilded glamour. But many in the star-studded crowd went for classic looks in black and white.

Blake Lively donned a grand Versace gown for fashion’s big night as the gala returned to it usual berth on the first Monday in May after years of pandemic upheaval. And if it feels like one of those what, already moments, it is.

It’s been just under eight months since the last gala, an annual fundraiser that raises eight-figure sums for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. About 400 guests from fashion, sports, music, film, TV, technology and beyond were invited.
