Annualy, the first Monday in May brings together the most recognisable faces from the realms of fashion and film at the opening night of the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition in New York. With guests asked to dress to match the theme.
This year’s exhibition theme was tagged “Camp – Notes on Fashion”, and guests were encouraged to be as theatrical and colourful as possible.
Incase you’re wondering – “The hallmark of camp is the spirit of extravagance. Camp is a woman walking around in a dress made of three million feathers,” US philosopher Susan Sontag wrote in her 1964 essay Notes On Camp .
“Camp is esoteric – something of a private code, a badge of identity even, among small urban cliques.”
So now that we know what the theme of the 2019 Met Gala is all about! Here are our favourite looks from the Met Gala.
