The 2022 Met Gala was recently held with great fanfare at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, USA, on Monday (May 2, 2022).

As in previous years, the Met Gala was flooded with top world celebrities showcasing their best outfits and gowns.

Kim Kardashian was the celebrity who managed to attract the world's media attention at the 2022 Met Gala.

She appeared wearing a Jean-Louis gown, the same gown worn by Marilyn Monroe when she sang a birthday song for US President John Kennedy in 1962. According to Variety, the gown is worth US$4.81 million, or approximately Rp70.1 billion.

Although considered historic, Marilyn Monroe's used gown was "not too expensive."

Grazia magazine noted that there are other gowns with prices about three times higher, namely a gown from a collaboration between two renowned fashion designers, Renée Strauss and Martin Katz.

The gown by Renée Strauss and Martin Katz was named the most expensive in the world, priced at US$16.2 million, or approximately Rp233.5 billion.

A gown by Japanese designer Yumi Katsura was also recorded as more expensive than Kim Kardashian's gown, at US$8.3 million, or approximately Rp119.6 billion.

Here is a list of the designers of the world's most expensive gowns according to Grazia magazine:

1. Renée Strauss and Martin Katz (Diamond Wedding Dress): US$16.2 million (Rp233.5 billion)
2. Yumi Katsura (White Gold Diamond Dress): US$8.3 million (Rp119.6 billion)
3. Vera Wang (Peacock Wedding Gown): US$2 million (Rp28.8 billion)
4. Danasha Luxury and Jad Ghandour (Danasha Luxury Wedding Gown): US$2 million (Rp28.8 billion)
