So… the 2019 Met Gala happened. And, as usual, it was a potpourri of WTF. Celebrities once again tried to one up each other with their weirdness, but the winner of the evening had to be Jared Leto who walked around the event carrying his own severed head. SO EDGY!
This year’s theme (the Met Gala always has a “theme) was “Camp: Notes on Fashion” based on Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay “Notes on Camp.” You’ve read that, right?
According to GQ, Sontag wrote in that essay, “the essence of Camp is its love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration.” So, basically, this year’s theme gave celebrities carte blanche to go nuts. And go nuts some of them did.
Like, Lady Gaga, for instance, who changed outfits three times… on the red carpet, culminating with this…
Newlyweds Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner showed up looking like this…
Priyanka Chopra and Joe’s brother Nick Jonas busted out this look…
Zendaya wore this…
Katy Perry came as a chandelier…
Tiffany Haddish and Danai Gurira looked like this…
Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner rocked these outfits…
Gigi Hadid came to the event looking like this…
Julian Edelman, Saquon Barkley, Odell Beckham Jr. and Lewis Hamilton were also there.
As was Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez.
And, of course, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen were there as well.
Celebrities… not like us at all.
