The Met Gala is an annual fundraiser held in New York City at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to celebrate the Costume Institute’s newest installation. There’s a theme every year, and guests who can afford the $35,000 ticket can essentially wear whatever they want, but dressing according to the theme is highly encouraged. This year’s theme was camp, so the outfits on the pink carpet were extravagant, outlandish, and downright fun.
How you can rock the fashion at home
Some of the best dressed had looks so wild, so out there, so camp that they can’t possibly be recreated, so know that the stars in this story are not the only ones who dressed to impress this year. Here’s how you can recreate some of those looks and bring a little camp into your wardrobe. After all, Oscar Wilde, part of the inspiration for the theme, said, “One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.”
