The theme this year for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala was Camp: Notes On Fashion, and the memo was received. Stars like Serena Williams–who is one of the event’s hosts this year, Billy Porter, and Laverne Cox hit the red carpet serving beauty lewks to slay, slaughter, and everything in between. Extravagant beaded headdresses and top hats were seen alongside Victorian coifs, bejeweled eyes, and abundant bosoms.
We’ve got all the best red carpet hair and makeup moments that served up camp realness and reminded us why we love the beauty and creativity of Black people.
