The theme for the 2019 Met Gala has been announced, here’s everything we know so far...

The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced the theme of its 2019 Costume Exhibition - "Camp: Notes on Fashion."

The party, which is basically the most A-list red carpet ever, is held on the first Monday in May.

This year it will be hosted by US Vogue editor and artistic director of Condé Nast, Anna Wintour, as well as Harry Styles, Serena Williams and Lady Gaga.

According to the New York Times, the theme is inspired by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay, "Notes on 'Camp'," which defines camp as "love of the unnatural: of artifices and exaggeration."

Andrew Bolton, the curator in charge of the Costume Institute, said that he had been exploring the possible theme for the last few years.

He explained: "We are going through an extreme camp moment, and it felt very relevant to the cultural conversation to look at what is often dismissed as empty frivolity but can be actually a very sophisticated and powerful political tool, especially for marginalised cultures.

"Whether it’s pop camp, queer camp, high camp or political camp — Trump is a very camp figure — I think it’s very timely. Much of high camp is a reaction to something.”

The countdown is on...
