A look so extra the stairs applaud.
One night a year fashion loses its mind, and tonight it is your turn. Met Gala is the maximalist couture look: a sculptural gown or a jacket with shoulders that need their own zip code, a headpiece made of something that should not be a headpiece, dramatic jewelry, and the famous red-carpeted stairs behind you lined with flashbulbs. Your face stays exactly yours, framed by the most expensive nonsense we can imagine. The lighting is paparazzi flash, bright and unforgiving in the most flattering way.
It is camp as a concept, which is fitting because the Met once did an entire gala about it. Take the snap, share it, and make your friends rank your look against whoever wore the chandelier that year.
