The annual Met Gala was held on Monday, May 6, 2019, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, New York. The theme for this year’s Gala was “Camp,” which is a fashion trend intended to confront and challenge the status quo.

Jamaican-Canadian model Winnie Harlow embodied Camp in a jeweled brown dress and golden headpiece. The top of the dress featured a multi-colored, jeweled bikini top and sheer fabric covering her midsection. The skirt of the dress had the same jewels in the shape of a bikini bottom and transitioned into a long brown dazzling train with a high split down the middle, revealing her strappy golden heals.

To accessorize, the model wore a short blond wig and golden jeweled headpiece, which flared out much like a peacock. Harlow continued the look with dangling earrings and a bejeweled necklace. She carried a golden ball-shaped purse and a black feathered shawl was draped over her shoulders. Harlow kept her makeup light with pink eye shadow and lip gloss.

The model posted her look on Instagram and claimed, “M E T my take on “Camp” is a tribute to my beloved Caribbean Carnival. See you on the carpet!” She later posted the caption, “ME(e)T me at carnival” with another image of her look.
