The Met Gala 2019 has given us major head-turning fashion goals pulled by our celebs
First held in 1948 to encourage donations from New York’s high society, the Met Gala has come a long way by associating modern, fashion, and realms of film, music and art to come together to raise money for Met’s Costume Institute by becoming the biggest event on the fashion fundraising calendar. Founded by Eleanor Lambert, the event now celebrates the grand opening of its latest exhibition at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Met Gala 2019 is held on the first Monday of May, which was 6th May this year and the theme was ‘Camp: Notes on Fashion.’ The theme has, as usual, lived up to the expectations of interesting designer wear and, as usual, has given us ‘much wow! and gasp!’ red carpet fashion. Let’s have a look at some.

Gaga does it again
Lady Gaga, one of the co-hosts of the night, who never fails to sparkle her surprises on the carpet went extra with not one, or two, but 4 different looks by Brandon Maxwell. First, she showed up in a giant fuchsia gown with a 25-foot train, surrounded by its designer, her glam squad, and a cabal of tuxedoed backup dancers who performed perfectly choreographed moves with umbrellas.
