Hailey Baldwin Bieberis taking on fashion’s biggest night with extra gratitude.

Baldwin Bieber was later diagnosed with a patent foramen ovale or PFO, a small opening in the heart that didn’t close the way it should after birth, which doctors said caused the blood clot to move from her heart to her brain, and led to her mini stroke. She underwent a procedure to close the PFO which went “very smoothly,” Baldwin Bieber said, and she’s now fully recovering.

And now, she said, “I’m just happy that I’m okay and I’m healthy.”
The 2022 Met Gala theme is “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” with the dress code being gilded glamour and white tie. Channeling the time period between 1870 to 1890, the event “will ask its attendees to embody the grandeur—and perhaps the dichotomy—of Gilded Age New York,” perVogue.

The era is known for major industrialization and put the likes of John D. Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and Cornelius Vanderbilt on the map. Unprecedented prosperity and cultural change were significant. The light bulb was patented, the telephone was invented, wages skyrocketed — and seemingly instantaneous, so did skyscrapers and fortunes.
Serving as a part 2 to last year’s “A Lexicon of Fashion” and paying homage to American history, the official exhibit for this year’s “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” will be on display in the storied museum’s period-centric rooms.
