Met Gala 2019: Jaw Dropping Beauty Moments That We Can't Stop Thinking About
The Met Gala was established by fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert in 1948. To this day, the Met Gala is an annual fundraising event that benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute and the celebration of the institute’s annual fashion exhibit in New York City. Each year the Met Gala has a specific theme that guests are to adhere to. This year’s theme is Camp. According to Wikipedia Camp is “an aesthetic style that regards something as appealing because of its bad taste and ironic value.”
Camp isn’t present in just the fashion looks that showed up on the pink carpet, but played into marvelous makeup and hair styles that we can not stop thinking about.
