Here's A Round-Up Of All The Best 'Camp' Looks From The 2019 Met Gala—And The Memes They've Inspired
07 May 2019
The 2019 Met Gala's theme was "Camp: Notes on Fashion" exhibition, and its guests did their homework and arrived in eye-popping outfits proving they were more than up for the task.
Fashionistas were left pitching tents over the cornucopia of high profile celebs hobnobbing with ostentatious flair.
The annual gathering in New York is a fundraising event to benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute and was formerly known as the Costume Institute Gala.
"Costume" is the operative word, with fashion's biggest night out exploiting fashion trends that are equal parts camp and sophistication.
<p>
<strong>The work that goes into the single-night event is a huge undertaking but well worth the effort, as the photos will remain for eternity.<br></strong>
