Wow this is so exciting! Can’t wait for the extravaganza of the century 🎉

[neelachal]

the men have to wear things other than a suit THANK YOU THEY HAVE NO CHOICE

Never thought camp could have so many meanings and concepts. The only Camp I ever knew was 'camping' camp.

[Sailor.Catracha]

Wow should have sent this to ALL celebritities invited 😂

[OmarC]

Lady Gaga as a host can literally not be any better. She’s the queen of camp and theatricality. This theme was made for her

[willdeshazo]

If I was invited I would wear Alexander McQueen “Horn of Plenty”. I feel like it would be a dark version of camp. The show is about a dystopian extravagance and I think that’s amazing!

[andrecostajesus]

Met:the theme is camp
Lady gaga:hold my oscar

[MarinaAndTheDevil]

This theme is kinda complicated. As iconic as it’s able to be, most of the guests will probably just stick to cocktail dresses and black tuxedos.

[donovanjohnson]

I’m so excited this is the theme for the Met Gala because this will be iconic

[msaikiran]

[danicaliz]

*DAMMIT I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS YEAR'S MET GALA ESPECIALLY THE FACT THAT HARRY STYLES WOULD BE THERE*

[rashidm]

I'd like to see someone wearing a camping tent because it would be the campiest camp fashion ever and no one will ever top it.

[johncarlos]

Can't wait to see Lady Queen Gaga 😍

All I can think is Harry in something dress like. This theme is interesting and really inspiring❤️

Cannot wait to see this exhibit!!! Wow!!! Update: Saw the exhibit on the last day. Was not disappointed. It was so much fun and unexpected. Crowded as hell, but still a nice Sunday afternoon at the museum. Purchased the catalogue, really beautiful, and a few other goodies. Amazing exhibit.
