Each year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City hosts a fundraiser for their Costume Institute, known as the Met Gala.
And each year’s gala has a theme. This year’s theme was camp, the over-the-top, very queer style that mixes pop culture and haute couture.
Here are some great looks from this year’s Met Gala.
Everyone is talking about Pose star Billy Porter’s “sun god” look, complete with six men to carry him.

Speaking of RuPaul, she might have showed up in one of the most fiercely camp looks of the night.
As America’s most famous drag queen, one would expect him to show up in drag to a camp-themed fashion show. Instead, he wore a sparkly pink-and-black zebra suit because the organizers wouldn’t pay him to dress in drag.
#rupaul would go to the grocery store like this but showed up to the #MetGala wearing this 🤦🏿♀️ pic.twitter.com/XucGsvxQPn
