The MET Gala is one of the most-awaited events of the year, just for the sheer number of statement fashion looks we see on the red carpet at this annual event. This year, the theme for the costume exhibition by the Metropolitan Museum of Art was ‘Camp: Notes On Fashion’, which called out to fashion that is outrageous and exaggerated! Camp fashion is the most OTT form of style that can be humorous, ironic or just extreme in its representation. And celebrities from all over the world slayed this year’s theme like total pros! Here are some of our favorite picks from the Met Gala this year – prepare to get your mind blown!
