The theme of this year’s Met Gala is “Camp” based on the essay by Susan Sontag, declaring: “Camp is a vision of the world in terms of style – but a particular style. It is the love of the exaggerated.” Our fave celebs certainly got the memo – from a human chandelier to feathers and waist-length lavender locks, golden afro picks and outlandish edges, here are the campiest of camp from the Met Gala red carpet.
