19 Most Memorable Looks From Met Gala 2019

Met Gala is the most exciting event in the world of fashion, it’s basically the equivalent of Oscars but for costumes and outfits. Celebs spend months carefully planning what they will wear, we all look forward to this day with trepidation and childlike enthusiasm and once a year we all gather to watch the parade of fabulous outfits at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Every year there’s a theme that determines the style of the event and sets our expectations pretty high. This year’s Met Gala theme was Camp: Notes on Fashion.

Camp, of course, is a very unusual style, because the whole idea of it is to see ironic value in things that are considered by many to be bad taste or quite gaudy. It’s certainly an interesting choice of aesthetic for the Met Gala and oh the stars did not disappoint us with their fashion picks. Take a look at 19 most memorable Met Gala looks of 2019.

1. Ezra Miller made everyone do a double take not only because he wore a bejeweled corset over a suit, but his makeup was what really shocked us. All eyes were on him, quite literally. That is a very fascinating makeup choice. You can’t look at it for too long cause it makes your eyes feel funny, but you also can’t look away.

2. Anna Wintour. We would joke about florals for spring not being exactly groundbreaking, but it’s Anna Wintour so we can’t. The floral pink dress with a feathery cape on top – it was definitely an outfit that screamed camp.

3. Lady Gaga wouldn’t be herself if she didn’t try to do something crazy and this year her element of surprise wasn’t just one outfit. She did a full blown 4 outfit transformation where she kept taking off dresses to reveal another outfit underneath.

4. Billy Porter arrived like an Egyptian king, being carried by 6 shirtless guys. His outfit consisted of a bejeweled gold catsuit, complete with gold shoes, a gold headpiece and custom gold wings. He was basically a work of art and an installation at the same time.

5. Harry Styles cohosted the Met Gala this year and his look was beyond perfect. The sheer black blouse with frills was absolutely stunning and the high-waisted trousers paired with a heeled boot added to the look. The pearl earring was the cherry on top of this frilly romantic and slightly Victorian outfit.

6. Hamish Bowles was the epitome of camp at the Met Gala. Let’s just all agree that his purple look was everything we didn’t know we always wanted on the pink carpet. That colorful cape with pink and grey feathers was what put this whole ensemble over the top and we all loved it.

7. Celine Dion said that she wasn’t quite sure what was expected of her when it came to the theme of this year’s Met Gala. At first she thought it meant camp like summer camp, like we’re going camping. But in the end she decided to go with something luxurious and timeless. And let’s just agree that without realizing it – she absolutely nailed it.
