The Best Looks From The Met Gala 2019

The Best Looks From The Met Gala 2019

Yesterday, on Monday 6th May 2019, the biggest annual fashion charity event took place at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the one and only, Met Gala.

This famous, VIP, exclusive event is invite only and every celebrity in the Music, Film, Fashion or Television industry wants that invitation but only a few are selected each year.

The main purpose of the Met Gala is to raise money for the Met's Costume Institute and to celebrate the grand opening of their latest exhibition.

Each year at the Met Gala, there is a new dress-code theme. This years theme is Camp: Notes on Fashion. The exhibit is inspired by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay that defines camp as "love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration". If you asked me to guess the theme before researching this I would have thought it was 1920s burlesque or circus.

The Met Gala is known to be the most extravagant event in the fashion calendar, where luxury designers have the opportunity to select their muse from the VIP celebrity guest-list and to design the most sensational, haute-couture outfit, in relation to the theme of course. The Mets red carpet, which is basically like the Fashion's week runway, is full of paparazzi and it is where all the guests make their grand entrance to the event to showcase their unique lavish outfits. It is also a great platform for designers to receive mass publicity and recognition for their haute-couture creations. This year's luxury designers included Valentino, Oscar de la Renta, Givenchy, Moschino, Giambattista Valli, Saint Laurent, Tory Burch, Dior, Tom Ford, Thom Browne, Versace, Dundas and many more.
