2019 Met Gala: The Best Looks of the Night
The Met Gala’s red carpet is known for delivering some of the most daring fashion statements of the year. The Costume Institute Gala at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is the biggest event on the fashion fundraising calendar. Founded by publicist Eleanor Lambert, the benefit was first held in 1948 to encourage donations from New York’s high society. A night where the most famous faces from the realms of fashion, film, music and art come together to raise money for the Met’s Costume Institute and celebrate the grand opening of its latest exhibition. The night is centered on the theme of the new exhibition, this year’s exhibition theme is Camp: Notes on Fashion. I’m sure everyone was wondering how the A-listers were going to be able to pull this one off. And let me just say there was nothing to be worried about.
