Lady Gaga Just Had FOUR Outfit Changes on the Met Gala Red Carpet and We're Deceased
If you're still unsure about what "camp" fashion is, allow Lady Gaga to show you how it's done. The singer/Met Gala co-host/Queen of Camp showed up to this year's Met Gala in a massive hot pink Brandon Maxwell gown, complete with a cascading train and a giant matching bow on her head. But wait, that's not all: Gaga then proceeded to out-camp them all with FOUR live outfit changes on the red carpet.
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta really did that. Delivering a series of dramatic red carpet poses underneath a parade of black umbrellas, Gaga's dramatic train required its own entourage of people to guide it down the red carpet. But if you thought Gaga was going to stop there, think again. She then proceeded to give us her own live performance art and deliver not one, but FOUR outfit changes on the red carpet.
First, she took off her giant pink cape to reveal an all-black ensemble-complete with a matching umbrella, but of course.
Then, there was another hot pink gown complete with a giant black cell phone bag by Judith Leiber. Hello, 911? Gaga has slayed us all, send help fast.
And last but not least, she then proceeded to strip down to her bra, fishnets, and underwear while pulling a hot pink wagon full of rosé and pink cowboy hats.
RENAME IT THE MET GAGA!!!
This year's Costume Exhibition and Met Gala theme, "Camp: Notes on Fashion," explores the meaning and history of camp in not only fashion, but pop culture. The exhibit itself is inspired by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay that defines camp as "love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration." It's all about over-the-top fashion that can be ironic, humorous, or simply extreme in nature-and who better than Lady Gaga to show us how it's done?
Before she even hit the red carpet tonight, Gaga served up some pre-Met Gala camp fashion in an over-the-top Marc Jacobs look last night. The singer donned a dramatic white and black ruffle dress and towering headpiece straight from the designer's Fall 2019 runway. She accessorized with a teeny tiny purse and sky-high platform boots-as you do when you're the Queen of Camp.

Of course, this is hardly Gaga's first run-in with camp fashion. From her infamous meat dress to donning outfits made out of muppets, the singer has been defined by her campy, over-the-top fashion since the start of her career.
