It’s the fashion event of the year and 2019’s Met Gala certainly didn’t disappoint. Top fashion glitterati rubbed shoulders with A-list celebrities and business leaders at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, to celebrate this year’s theme: Camp (inspired by Susan Sontag’s trailblazing essay on the subject).

Lady Gaga made one of the grandest entrances ever with FOUR live outfit changes on the pink carpet. And Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas made their first debut since getting married last week. Oh, and Jared Leto put his head on a stick (more on that later…). You can see all the Met Gala pink carpet looks here.

Stylist has rounded up the best Instagram pictures from the evening. Although famously mobile phones are banned from inside the event, which is renowned for the biggest and best names in fashion gathering for the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibition, it wouldn’t be an A-list ‘do without a few sly snaps making it onto social media.

And if you thought 2019 was a stellar year for fashion, Stylist has rounded up the best Met Gala red carpet outfits of all time - remember this Beyoncé outfit?

Lena Dunham

Actor and writer Lena Dunham hit the pink carpet with close friend Jemima Kirke, wearing matching fetish-themed Christopher Kane dresses (Dunhams’s read “rubbertist” while Kirke’s said “looner”).

The designer told Hollywood Reporter: “Lena has such an intelligent sense of humour and has embraced camp and self-expression for all. We wanted something that Lena would feel like herself in and would be comfortable in, with a nod to the theme. It features a silhouette and print from the most recent Fall-Winter 2019 collection, which explores people’s obsession with fetish around inanimate objects.”

But, before getting ready, Dunham got her priorities in order and made use of the hotel’s room service by simply enjoying a plate of bacon. Sharing the moment on Instagram, she joked: “Enjoying a balanced breakfast #metgala2019 #modeldiet.” She later shared a photo from the pink carpet, captioning it: “Who wants to cum over l8r to wash the glitter off our latex? #metgala2019 #notesoncamp #bestthemeever”
