Liberace and Elton John are both icons of camp, and no doubt a lot of celebrities at this year’s Met Gala took inspiration from them and their irreverent styles, and loves of colour, pattern and feathers.

The annual event falls on the first Monday of May to raise money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. This year, the theme was Camp: Notes On Fashion, inspired by an essay by Susan Sontag. She once explained: “The essence of Camp is its love of the unnatural: Of artifice and exaggeration.”

Lady Gaga underwent four costume changes and Katy Perry came dressed as a chandelier as celebrities gathered in New York for the Met Gala.

Fashion’s biggest party – overseen by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour – is one of the most anticipated dates in the showbiz diary and is known for both its A-list guests and the often outlandish outfits they wear.

It takes place on the first Monday in May at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art each year and raises money for the museum’s Costume Institute.

Awards season and all its fantastic gowns seems far behind us now, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to look forward to. In fact, arguably the most important event on the fashion calendar is still to come, and it’s fast approaching.

The Met Gala will bring some of the most famous people on the planet to the steps of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It’s far from your average red carpet event: It comes with a different theme every year and the outfits are usually very experimental.

On Monday night the 2018 Met Gala took place, as celebrities on the red carpet showcased a spectacle of OTT fashion! With the theme of “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and The Catholic Imagination" and a dress code of your "Sunday best" (amusingly on a Monday!), this year’s Met Gala moments featured some of the most fabulous, eccentric and embellished Met looks yet!

It’s the first Monday in May which means more iconic red carpet moments are about to go down in fashion history, as the Met Gala 2018 takes place tonight. This year's theme is "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” which centres on religious influence in fashion, the exhibit will include designs from Coco Chanel, John Galliano, Cristóbal Balenciaga and pieces on loan from the Vatican.
