Hey guys! So, the first Monday in May just passed, and you know what that means… Met Monday!!! If you have no idea what I’m talking about: the Met Gala aka the Costume Institute Gala is hosted at the Met Museum in New York by Anna Wintour (Editor-in-Chief of Vogue) and some co-hosts too every year on the first Monday of May. Every year Anna throws this insane Gala with all the best celebs and influencers, and there is always a theme. This year the idea was ‘CAMP.’ If you didn’t know ‘Camp’ essentially means extravagant clothing. Anyways, the celebs truly brought it with their costumes this year it was amazing! Every single year I wait up to see what all the celebs are wearing! Generally, for my Met Gala post, I would choose more looks than just eight, but I genuinely loved every look on the carpet that I decided to do my top favorites. So, without further ado, let’s get on to the post!

First of all, Lily Collins! I have to say the most amazing thing I think about her look is her hair and makeup so shoutout to her hair stylist and makeup artist! Her Giambattista Valli dress is also stunning! I love how the dress if short in the front to show her amazing legs and then it has this long, beautiful and dramatic train. This look made it to my top 8 because she looks so ‘Camp’ and amazing!

Next up is Zendaya. Somehow whatever post I do, if it is fashion related Zendaya is always in it! Zendaya was a significant showstopper at this Met because her dress actually moved! I recommend looking up the video of Zendaya at the Met, but, if you haven’t already, her stylist (dressed as her fairy godmother) pointed a magic wand at her, and her dress lit up like a Christmas tree and started expanding! She was wearing a beautiful Cinderella inspired Tommy Hilfiger dress, and it was amazing! This look will definitely be one to remember (although I still highly prefer Claire Danes similar rocked on the carpet in 2016). Even though it’s a pretty dress I overall liked the performance, she definitely made an entrance!

Now for some male action on the ‘Camp’ carpet! Ezra Miller, first of all, wore a very classy Burberry suit with a corset on top! But the amazing this about this look is his makeup! Ezra’s makeup artist painted 5 more eyes on Ezra’s face! This was such a fresh look, and, everyone was talking about it/will remember it! I also love how he brought a mask with him, so it was almost as if his alien-ish face with the eyes was his real face under his human face!

Next up is another insane male on the carpet. I am so obsessed with this look and, I have legit not stop thinking about it! Michael Urie wore two looks; he wore a suit on one half of his body and a fabulous flowy light purple dress on the other half. He also did his makeup in two cool halves. But, we would expect that the side with the dress would have makeup and the side with the suit would have no makeup, but he reversed it, which added a little something extra special! Love this look, and I loved how he really stuck to the theme and went for it.

Now onto Jared Leto! Another showstopper of the night. In February this year, Gucci did a runway show where some of the models carried replicas of their heads down the runway and, so Jared asked them to do the same for him for the Met. He first wore a very extravagant and cool red Gucci gown but the extravagant part was how he carried his head around for all night..! This is again something we will never forget and will go down in Met history because it is so original and was so unexpected!

For Dua Lipa’s first Met she stunned in an insanely beautiful Versace gown! I absolutely love this look because the colors of her dress are so vibrant and they stand out so well! But, like Lily Collins, I think the best part of her look is definitely her amazing 60s beehive hairstyle! This look was one to remember because of her amazing hair and the giant bow on her dress!

Janelle Monáe wore one of the most original and prettiest looks of the night (while staying Camp!). She wore this stunning Christiano Siriano dress that looked like an abstract painting of a human face. The best part of Janelle’s look was that the eye that was on her bra actually had eyelashes that were moving! It was so great, so throughout the whole night, she had this large eye on her body blinking at everyone! Her hat ensemble was also great and unique and is somehow reminded me of ‘Alice in Wonderland’! Love this look!

Now finally, last but definitely not least, the queen herself: Lady Gaga! I love that Lady Gaga really brought back her really crazy extravagant self for this Met! The theme was perfect for her! Gaga ended up wearing 4 Brandon Maxwell looks. She wore one super big and long over-the-top bright pink dress. Then she wore a black strapless ballgown. Next up, was a tight pink dress and finally, she wore her underwear with tights and crazy boots! Gaga really put on a show for everyone there! It was simply incredible!!! This will definitely be a look of hers that I will always remember!

That’s it for today’s Met post! I hope you enjoyed reading it! Let me know if you agree with my top 8 choices and if there’s anyone else you think deserves to be on this list! I already cannot wait until next years Met!

Lot’s of LOVE, as always,
