2019 Met Gala

About

The 2019 Met Gala, themed "Camp: Notes on Fashion," was a vibrant celebration of fashion's most extravagant and theatrical expressions. Inspired by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay, the event showcased a love for artifice and exaggeration. Co-hosted by Lady Gaga and Harry Styles, with Gucci's Alessandro Michele and Serena Williams as co-chairs, the gala highlighted over 200 fashion pieces alongside sculptures and paintings from the 17th century to the present. The exhibition featured works by renowned designers like Virgil Abloh, Alexander McQueen, and Rei Kawakubo. On the red carpet, guests delivered on the camp theme with stunning outfits. Notable looks included Billy Porter's "Sun God" ensemble, Jared Leto in Gucci, and Lady Gaga's multiple Brandon Maxwell outfits. Kim Kardashian wore a custom Thierry Mugler latex beaded gown, evoking a "California girl stepping out of the ocean." The event was a testament to fashion's power to express humor, irony, and theatricality, making it a memorable night in the world of fashion.
