This event occurs every year on the fashion calendar, with the most famous faces coming together in themed outfits. The night is centred on the theme of the Met’s Costume Institutes new exhibition, Camp: Notes On Fashion. This theme proposed different ways in which the concept could be constructed, with many using cultural and political references.
The Olsen twins continued to inject their personal style into the outfits in a head-to-toe leather ensemble with boasting gold buttons. Ashley pairing her leather maxi coat revealing a yellow satin lining, with crocodile over-the-knee boots resembling a bumblebee. This isn’t an unusual outfit for the twins suggesting a poor effort for this years theme.

There’s no such thing as being too “extra” for the Met however, Frank Ocean took the contemporary take on the theme. Dressed in an all-black outfit instead with a security guard influence. Similarly dressed like Kanye, whose outfit was mailman chic.

Dressed like Beauty and the Beast’s Lumière, Katy Perry showcased her eccentric side in her jewelled chandelier outfit. The creation was designed by Moschino who made the embellished dress encased with decorative hanging lights with numerous candles. The singer later transformed into a real snack – a hamburger. A playful, fabric costume paired with a slider hat and burger style trainers. If that still wasn’t enough, she later dropped the burger revealing a lettuce bodysuit below.

On the other hand, there were a few outfits I enjoyed that truly represented the theme. Harry Styles, glorified in all Gucci experimenting with a feminine look. Wearing sheer shirt complemented with ruffles his new aesthetic translated into new romantic movement. Styles took the note on ‘camp’ and made it his own.

Céline Dion knows how to carry off a look, her Oscar de la Renta bodysuit dazzled revelling a showgirl leg split. She owned the outfit with a feathered headpiece and diffusion of gold throughout her makeup. ‘When it comes to camp, one thing seems certain: divas do it better’.
