Met Gala 2019: Outrageous Looks of 71st Fashion Extravaganza in New York

Sputnik

The Gala's 2019 theme is "Camp: Notes on Fashion", inspired by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay "Notes on Camp". The themed style influenced all the guests' costumes — there were no boring mermaid dresses and tuxedos; it was a real carnival, in which some of the most famous people in the world finally went rogue. 

The Gala raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
