Looking like a work of modern art, Janelle Monáe nailed the 2019 Met Gala theme. The singer wore a custom Christian Siriano with four hats piled on top of one another. Keeping up with her quirky style, the lashed eye on her top was motorized, so it kept winking at the cameras. The pink skirt and the single black and white glove made a fun play of contrasting colors.

Unlike her last year’s opulent ensemble that showed off her baby bump, Cardi B opted for a more reserved outfit for the 2019 Met Gala. Her Thom Browne custom gown was understated in the sense that it covered her completely from head to toe but showed off her curves it an anatomically accurate silhouette. Made from silk organza and tulle, the outfit was completed with a bugle-bead headpiece.

Officially known as the Metropolitan Costume Institute Benefit, the Met Gala is an extravagant black-tie affair. Keeping up with the annual extravaganza, the 2019 Met Gala was themed “Camp: Notes on Fashion.” The theme was inspired by a 1964-essay by Susan Sontag, Notes on Camp. According to Sontag, Camp represents “utterly eccentric aesthetic sensibility.” No wonder the 2019 Met Gala saw celebs sashaying down, or should we say carried, to the red carpet in the most out-of-the-world ensembles. Check out some of the best celebrity looks at the Met Gala.
