From outlandish outfits and terrific themes to its (sometimes) comedic commentary and exaggerated criticisms, the MET Gala is always a spectacle to be enjoyed, and I look forward to it every single year as a break from studying for finals and a chance to pretend like I know way more than I actually do about the world of high fashion.

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, the MET Gala is the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual benefit ball, in celebration of the grand opening of the museum's Costume Institute's exhibit for that year. The invite list is one of high prestige, with everyone from Kim Kardashian to Donatella Versace strutting down the red carpet in flowing taffeta and sparkly sequins. Moreover, guests dress in accordance with the theme of the costume exhibit for that year; last year's theme was "Heavenly Bodies", and focused on the representation of specific religious figures and mythologies in fashion, and this year's theme is "Camp", a style that focuses on taking everything to the extreme in terms of gaudiness and flashiness. Think big, poofy dresses, adorned with every accessory imaginable and of every color imaginable, but classy.
