Met Gala Monday is finally here again.
After being postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, one of fashion's biggest nights is back.
This year's event was centered around the theme "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion."
"We called the dress code this time — American independence. And we really want people to have fun and enjoy dressing up again," Vogue editor-in-chief and Met Gala honorary chair Anna Wintour told "Good Morning America's" co-anchor, Robin Roberts.
Co-chairing with Wintour is a panel of iconic Gen Z and millennial notables including Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Naomi Osaka and Amanda Gorman.
With COVID-19 protocols in place, some of today's biggest stars have gathered in the Big Apple -- all in the name of fashion.
Ahead, see some of the most standout looks of the night, and be sure to check back often for more.
