10 Best Dressed Celebrities at the 2019 Met Gala

Published

on

The Met’s 2019 costume exhibition is “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” inspired by Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay, which defines camp as “love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration.” Think: over-the-top shapes, theatrical accessories and anything wonderfully eccentric. The trick in finding the best dressed on tonight’s flashy red carpet is honing in on the shiny people who also brought the fashion along with the camp. See who landed the magical mix.

Lady Gaga

What: Brandon Maxwell

Why: The Camp theme was created for Lady Gaga and she didn’t rest on her meat dress laurels—wearing 4, count them 4, Brandon Maxwell looks all at once (for a minute, at least). A giant pink gown with a doll-like bow, a black strapless gown, a pink slip dress with giant cell phone, and finally, some very chic lingerie with sparkly tights. It was quite a way to kick off the carpet.

Kylie and Kendall Jenner

What: Versace

Why: These two did not shy from the theme, looking like a cross of something between Vegas showgirls, Lil Kim, and as Kendall’s own Instastories pointed out, the Wicked Stepsisters from Cinderella. But make it fashion.

Celine Dion

What : Oscar de la Renta

Why: Hardly a stranger to drama, Dion wore a glimmering gown inspired by the glitzy costumes of the Ziegfeld Follies. The entire ensemble is constructed from 18 panels, hand-beaded by 52 master embroiderers over a total of 3,000 hours and weighs over 22 pounds. But somehow she’s owning all that dress.

Cardi B

What: Thom Browne

Why: Because technically she wore about ten feet of tulle and silk organza of Thom Browne, topped with 30,000 burned and dyed coque feathers—all topped off with a Stephen Jones x Thom Browne hat.

Ciara

What: Dundas

Why: What’s not to love about Diana Ross disco-era hair and a green embellished gown with ostrich feathers paired with matching embellished gloves, belt and choker?

Kacey Musgraves

What: Moschino

Why: She pulled up in a Barbie car in a pink leather motorcycle gown and pink cat eye sunnies. This is what you call a moment.

Billy Porter

What: The Blonds

Why: Truly, this man brought it, served it, lit it on fire, took a picture of it, hung it in a frame, and then brought it again. A true star in gold.

Lupita Nyong’o

What: Versace

Why: From her neon rainbow top, to her matching fan bag, the gilded picks in her hair, and pink star maxi skirt—no one can take their eyes off of this vision.

Saoirse Ronan

What: Gucci

Why: The brand was a sponsor of the evening’s event for good reason—Alessandro Michele’s Gucci has a unique grasp on camp. That place where fashion veers to the magical—this fire-breathing dress embodies it.

Emily Ratajkowski

What: Dundas

Why: The model channelled the ultimate camp icon, Cher, in this bold interpretation of a Bob Mackie dress, complete with a winged headpiece.
