NEW YORK (AP) — The Met Gala is back. The annual extravaganza with the most dazzling red carpet in the world of fashion returns Monday. The evening, a fundraiser for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will be hosted by Regina King, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, and Lin-Manuel Miranda, with Vogue’s Anna Wintour running the whole shebang as usual. The theme: “Gilded glamour,” which should bring out some dressy period-style gowns on the carpet (viewable this year on livestream) that would go well on HBO’s “The Gilded Age.” The sartorial theme stems from the spring fashion exhibit: “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” exploring the historical roots of American fashion.
