Yesterday evening the highlight of the fashion year took place: the annual gala of the Metropolitan Museum of Art - better known as "The Met Gala". The event in New York brings together many stars every year, trying to trump each other with the most outrageous outfits. Every gala has had a theme since 1995, and this year it was ‘camp’, or: freak and just over the edge.
Anna Wintour, the editor in chief of Vogue who organizes the gala, herself arrived in a cape with feathers. She watched the red carpet from the sidelines, while the crème de la crème of Hollywood and the music industry made its appearance.
Lady Gaga stretched the crown with no fewer than four outfits: she appeared on the red carpet in a pink dress, but under the enormous pink robe with a long train was a narrower black dress. However, it wasn't long before Gaga took it off and stood in a tight pink dress.
In the end, it also went out, and the singer in her underwear posed on platform soles that, according to the experts, were about 25 centimeters high. The creation came from the top hat of designer Brandon Maxwell, with whom the singer has been friends for years.
Guests of the gala not only get a press moment on the red carpet, they are also the first to see the new fashion exhibition in the museum. The gala is used to raise money for the Museum's Costume Institute. What a great initiative! Which, by the way, is definitely recommended if you are a fashion lover.
