On the evening of Monday 6 May, one of the most important glamorous events of the year took place: the Met Gala 2019. The annual party that, every first Monday in May, is organized to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York.
This year, the theme of the gala was Camp: Notes on Fashion.
According to the New York Times, the theme is inspired by an essay by Susan Sotang, which recounted how the unbridled use of kitsch, with playful intentions and in different fields, had an impact on popular culture and contributed to sexual liberalization and homosexual.
So, the theme is about how the unbridled use of kitsch represents the essence of extravagance, theatricality and love for excess.
For this reason, the Hollywood celebrities have shown off their best looks at the 2019 Met Gala.
