#Frank ocean met gala code
So perhaps the misses were even more in line with the dress code than the hits. The 'Pink + White' singer, who wore a black Prada sports jacket and trousers, stood out with his. We’ve rounded up six of the most striking outfits, but before anyone passes harsh judgement on the men that didn’t make the cut, bear in mind the 58th and final bullet point of Ms Sontag’s essay: “The ultimate Camp statement: It’s good because it’s awful”. Frank Ocean celebrated the American film industry in a surprise Met Gala appearance. The result is closer to a framework from which to think about camp, rather than a workable definition, although there are certainly some quotes from the essay that speak to the outfits worn last night, including a description of camp as a “love of the exaggerated”.
Ms Sontag, an important cultural commentator, set out to explain it in her famous essay, but instead produced 58 bullet points. If you’re unclear about the proper definition of “camp”, then you’re in good company. The theme was “Camp: Notes On Fashion”, which is the name of the museum’s latest exhibition, and is itself inspired by Ms Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay “Notes On Camp_”_.
The occasion was the 71st Met Gala, a yearly fundraiser organised by legendary US Vogue editor Ms Anna Wintour to raise money for the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute.
A stellar cast of celebrities gathered in a collection of outfits largely unrivalled for their extravagance, complexity, visual impact and lack of restraint (except for Mr Kanye West, who turned up in a $49 Dickies jacket). Last night the steps of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art were illuminated by starlight.
