Every year millions of fashion fans can’t wait until the first Monday of May, as that is when the annual Met Gala takes place. Each year there is a specific theme that every guest is expected to follow. The guests of the Met Gala events are the cream of the crop from the celebrity world.
This year’s theme was Camp: Notes on Fashion, which is dedicated to the fabulous, exaggerated, and often unnatural yet better for it, style in clothing, makeup, hair, and home decor. The event was co-chaired by several celebrities known for their outstanding fashion sense, including Lady Gaga and Serena Williams. Check out 20 most memorable looks of the night!

Frances Aaternir was there with her partner Chiwetel Ejiofor, but everyone’s eyes were on her sparkly dress with a lovely blue feather bodice.

12. Winnie Harlow
There are dozens of elements in Winnie Harlow’s dress competing for our attention, but, somehow, the whole look works perfectly for the model.
13. Kim Kardashian
For her Met Gala 2019 look, Kim Kardashian stayed true to her fashion sense. A super tight dress that almost creates a nude impression and with lots of sparkle – the camp theme seems to be perfect for Kim.
14. Janelle Monáe
Janelle Monáe is known for her unconventional style and often being the best-dressed red carpet guest, but her 2019 look with four hats, a pair of eyes, and a whole lot of other striking elements is bold even for Janelle.
