A-listers gather in New York City for the Met Gala.

Fashion’s most important party, organised by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, famously takes place on the first Monday of May each year at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art.

The Met Gala, celebrating its 71st anniversary, is a black-tie fundraiser for the museum’s Costume Institute and last year more than 12 million US dollars were raised. Wintour presides over the event, handpicking the guests, and this time around her co-chairs will be Lady Gaga, Harry Styles and Serena Williams.

As well as the charitable element, the gala is best known for its celebrity guests and the often outlandish outfits they wear on the red carpet. Famous examples include Cher’s 1974 “naked dress”, Diana, Princess Of Wales’ navy slip Dior dress in 1996 and Rihanna’s canary-yellow fur-trimmed cape in 2015.“The essence of Camp is its love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration,” Sontag once explained.
