Met Gala 2019: stars turn up the camp on the pink carpet – in pictures
From the sublime to the ridiculous, who won fashion’s biggest night out? The 71st annual Met Ball in New York was themed ‘camp’. Here’s a taste – from Cara Delevingne and Anna Wintour to Lady Gaga
-
The night, themed Camp: Notes on Fashion after a 1964 essay by Susan Sontag, saw A-listers exploring ‘how irony, humour, parody, pastiche, artifice, theatricality and exaggeration are expressed in fashion’. The event raised money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Here, Cara Delevingne wrapped in rainbow ribbons, with a banana headpiece
