Did we talk about the recent Met Gala‘s annual fundraiser in NY? Or should I say, “Did we talk about those ‘costumes’ worn by some of the attendees??”
Whewwww! Yes, in true Met Gala fashion, some outfits were wayyy over the top, ‘by design‘ so-to-speak.
The annual event is the premiere fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art‘s Costume Institute in New York, signalling the opening of the venue’s annual fashion exhibit.
Each year’s event celebrates exhibition’s theme. This year’s theme was “Camp: Notes on Fashion.”
Let’s just say Janelle Monae was wearing that hat … I mean those hats! #SlayGuuurl! Colin Kaepernick made an appearance with his beautiful girlfriend. Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade and more were also in the house!
See some of the elaborate costumes #MetGala
The eye blinks too! Janelle Monae snapped. End of discussion. #MetGala #MetCamp pic.twitter.com/7DSsGhjFKm
