Met Gala 2019 Round Up

The 2019 Met Gala was a night that will go down in fashion history. The theme this year was “Camp: Notes on fashion”, based off of an essay written by Susan Sontag in 1964. Sontag noted in her essay that ‘The essence of Camp is its love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration’. Needless to say, this year’s gala had some pretty exaggerated looks.

Lady Gaga opened the carpet with a 15 minute performance art piece that included four outfit changes by Brandon Maxwell.
