Dozens of celebrities were gathering in New York City Monday night to attend the annual Met Gala.
This year’s star-studded event celebrates the new fashion mega-exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, ‘‘Camp: Notes on Fashion.’’
The exhibit is built around author Susan Sontag’s 1964 ‘‘Notes on ‘Camp,’’’ a 58-point essay which she dedicated to Oscar Wilde, according to the Associated Press. Camp ‘‘is not a natural mode of sensibility,’’ she wrote. ‘‘The essence ... is its love of the unnatural, of artifice and exaggeration.’’
In an ode to camp, this year’s gala is co-chaired by Lady Gaga, along with Serena Williams, Harry Styles, Gucci’s Alessandro Michele, and Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
