The first Monday of May is always a big night for fashion as it's when the Metroplitan Museum of Art, better known as the Met, holds the Costume Institute Gala, better known as the Met Gala or the Met Ball. It's a big fundraiser for the fashion/costume portion of the Met, so a lot of big Hollywood and even international names are in attendance dressed to the nines.

Every year has a theme, and this year's was camp, which can be hard to understand. In simple terms, camp has to do with extravagance, excess, and being over the top. In modern slang terms, camp is about being extra. So a lot of attendees wore and did a lot with their looks. It was hard for me to narrow down my favorite looks, and I'm still not even sure if these would be my top 15, but they're definitely 15 of my favorites.

A lot of people wore pink this year, and of course I loved it, so you'll be seeing a lot of that.

This isn't a super extravagant look, but I do love the colors, all the ruffles, and the floral print. The orange florals on the magenta base pop but are somehow still subtle. All of the ruffles create a nice flow and texture without it looking like something a Founding Father would wear, and the sheer material creates more depth.

So I'm honestly not sure if this outfit is pink or purple because in some pictures, it looks pink, and in others, it looks purple. Regardless, I'm a fan of this look. The feather boa-like cape thing looks so fun and glamorous and really complements the entire outfit. The lace tights also add another level of glam to this outfit, and I just love how unapologetically (for the lack of a better word) glamorous it is.

Ugh. I just love Gemma Chan (which you may know because I featured her as one of my style icons). She looked like an absolute queen in her Met Gala debut. She just looks so regal! This headpiece is amazingly beautiful and so intricate. Her gown is just extra sparkly and looks like it's made of diamonds, which is just gorgeous. And I think this look just proves there's no such thing as too much sparkle, because she's literally wearing crystals from head to toe.
