Met Gala 2022: 9 Sustainable Fashion Moments

Posted on May 5th, 2022.

Billie Eilish, Shawn Mendes, and Emma Stone were among the stars to don their eco-fashion.

This year, the Met Gala celebrated a return to the Gilded Age (for those wondering, that’s the 30-year era from around 1870 to 1900 that was big on corsets, ruffles, and décolleté-cuts). 

The event isn’t usually a big one for sustainable fashion given it has a different theme each year. Anyone with a Pokemon cos-play outfit will understand that is not necessarily an outfit you’ll find more than one opportunity to bring out. 

But this year, m​ore than a few of the night's biggest stars gave old fits a run for their money, either choosing vintage designs, rewearing things they already owned, or having their gowns created with repurposed or upcycled textiles. That and the fact that climate advocate Xiye Bastida made an appearance make this year’s gala stand out as a big year for sustainable fashion.

We’ve rounded up the biggest eco moments from fashion’s biggest night out. They may not have embraced the Met Gala’s assignment but they sure did the planet’s.
