The MET Gala is always an event to look forward to because it is more or less a feast of fashion meals, so to say. The 2019 edition of the MET Gala has come and gone but the discussions hasn’t died down amongst folks. This year offered a whole lot of delectable fashion items in full display with iconic muses and “mannequins”.

In case this is your first time hearing about the MET Gala, let’s run it by you – the MET Gala is not an award show, not at all. Formally called the Costume Institute Gala and also known as the Met Ball is an annual fundraising gala for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. The MET Gala always marks the opening of the Costume Institute’s exhibition and the exhibition sets tone for the formal dress of the night, since the attendees are to dress to match the theme of the exhibit. The MET Gala is usually organized by VOGUE and has been chaired by Anna Wintour, the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Magazine since 1995, excluding 1996 and 1998. Each year the Gala is held, there is a fashion theme for the night which celebrities and other exclusively invited guests comply with. Although, right from its inculcation, there was no theme for the night, but as the years went on and Diana Vreeland chaired the event, it became more glamorous, held at the Met for the first time and the themes came into play.

The theme for this year sure did bring many tongues wagging with oohs, aahs and naahs. With many celebrities dazzling us with iconic embodiments of fashion, we can say that the theme; Camp: Notes on Fashion, had fashion stylists and designers in their creative spots, cooking and spurning out beauties and extravagant pieces for dazzles.
