Will The Met Gala Red Carpet Be As Camp As We Hope?

The guest list for the Met Gala 2019 might have been publicised last week, but the industry has been quietly ruminating on it since May 8 2018 – the day after the red carpet was rolled away for another year. As soon as the photographs of the fabulous fashion are circulated, it’s on to the next one. “Who’s cool?”, “who’s on-brand?” designers ask Hollywood’s most in-demand stylists, such as Elizabeth Saltzman and and Kate Young, as email exchanges fire up the world over and the courting begins. Ticket offers must tick off friends and those who are contractually obliged to go with a brand, as well as tapping into the future zeitgeist.
