The 2019 MET Gala was a major success. The invite-only affair is held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Anna Wintour, Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief, coordinates the event while this year’s co-chairs were Harry Styles, Serena Williams, Lady Gaga, and Alessandro Michele.
Camp: Notes on Fashion
The theme this year was Camp: Notes on Fashion. It embraced—
- Extravagance
- Out-of-the-box fashion
- Being extraordinary
- Over-the-top flamboyance
- Excess
- Exaggeration
Luckily for us, this gave way for a stunning run on the red carpet. Not only did the A-listers wear incredible jewelry, but most had jewels fused right into their ensembles (see Bella Hadid).
Here’s a recap of our favorite 2019 MET Gala jewelry trends and how they can translate into sales.
