The Met Gala which is held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is considered one of the world’s biggest fashion events.

It is known for its exclusive guest list, its expensive tickets and – most of all – its extravagant outfits, based on a different theme each year. This year, that theme was Camp: Notes on Fashion – to coincide with an upcoming exhibition at the Met, inspired by US writer and political activist Susan Sontag‘s 1964 essay, Notes on Camp.

The outfits this year were therefore, like the exhibition, based on “theatricality and exaggeration”. And showing everyone how it was done at the very start of the night was singer Lady Gaga, who arrived in a billowing pink Brandon Maxwell gown which she further broke down right on the carpet into four different looks.

Anna Wintour, Nicki Minaj, Harry Styles, Cardi B, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott, Solange, Gabrielle Union, Winnie Harlow, Yara Shahidi, Regina Hall, Tracee Ellis Ross, Kerry Washington, Billy Porter, Michael B. Jordan, and many more stars were among those who attended.
