The wackiest, quirkiest looks from the Met Gala 2019
The Oscars are the biggest night in film and the Grammy Awards are music's biggest night. Well, the Met Gala is THAT night in fashion. Even if you don't get care about the fashion, it's hard to be indifferent about some Met Gala fashion.
It's when the reigning queen of the sartorial world, Vogue editor in chief, Anna Wintour personally invites the who's who of Hollywood to what is essentially the mother of all costume parties at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. No one is too cool for the Met Gala, people go all out.
The Met Gala’s theme for 2019 was camp, based on the title of this year’s Costume Exhibit which plays off Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay 'Notes on Camp.'
“Indeed the essence of Camp is its love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration,” wrote Sontag in the influential essay. “I am strongly drawn to Camp, and almost as strongly offended by it.” Here's how celebs embodied Sontag’s theory and put their own spin on its outrageous spirit.
