The highly anticipated Met Gala in May 2019 will feature Lady Gaga, Serena Williams, Harry Styles, and Gucci’s Alessandro Michele as co-chairs, alongside iconic Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. This prestigious event, organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, has become a must-attend for creative minds from various industries.
The theme for the 2019 Gala will be camp style, inspired by the writings of American author Susan Sontag. This theme reflects the disruptive and boundary-pushing nature of the event, which has been significantly influenced by Anna Wintour. In fact, Wintour’s impact on the Gala is so profound that the Costume Institute has been renamed the Anna Wintour Costume Center in her honor.
The Met Gala has attracted elites from fashion, film, theater, TV, and sports, with tickets costing up to $30,000. The camp style theme for 2019 aims to showcase the profound influence of camp on both high art and popular culture, as noted by Max Hollein, director of The Met.
With such a star-studded lineup of co-chairs and a theme that promises to push boundaries, the 2019 Met Gala is expected to be a night to remember in the fashion and entertainment world.
