Met Gala 2019 Best Dressed

Posted on

Finally, the first Monday in May is here! 

The Met Gala, known as the most fashionable gala night of the year was full on glitz Monday night as the most famous faces in fashion, tv, music and sports came together to raise money for the Met’s Costume Institute and celebrate the grand opening of the latest exhibition.

This year’s theme:  “Camp: Notes on High Fashion,” based on Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay “Notes on Camp,” in which she defines Camp as “its love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration.” A handful of the attendees truly stood out though, as the red (pink) carpet saw daring ensembles that embraced the Gala’s theme of ‘camp.’

See All of the best looks from the Met Gala 2019 Red (Pink) Carpet:

Kacey Musgraves made her Met Gala debut looking like Barbie in an all-pink Jeremy Scott’s Moschino. The hot pink custom made leather Moto jacket gown featured a thigh-high slit. Kacey look was inspired by the exact Barbie doll the Metropolitan Museum of Art currently sells in its gift shop that retails for $75. The life-size look was completed with a matching pink fur scarf, hairdryer clutch by Moschino, and pink cat-eye sunglasses.
Emily Ratajkowski was the most daring with her look for the Met Gala. Wearing a custom Dundas floor-length gown, the ultimate naked dress featured a full bodice cut-out at her stomach that sparkled from head to toe. The embellished sheer dress connected with her wings headpiece that had chain details and feathers at the ear. She paired the gown with gold Jimmy Choo platform sandals.

Making a theatrical entrance, he was carried on to the red carpet by six bare-chested men in golden pants, Porter wore a custom head-to-toe gold-sequined jumpsuit covered in beads that was complete with a matching cape by The Blonds. Raising his arms in the air, Porter revealed the cape was two oversized gold wings that were over 10 feet long.
