It's been a moment, but the Met Gala is back. It might not be on the first Monday in May this year, but New York Fashion Week's unofficial closing ceremony for SS22 is set to be the most celebratory return to the red carpet yet.

Checking out how the A-list work their hair and make-up to fit each year's slightly eccentric theme.
