The grandeur, celebrity and creativity of the annual Met Gala makes it fairly irresistible. So this short film produced inside the event with all of the major stars is nothing short of overwhelming. It is too magnificent, the Met Gala has peaked.
Like last year, we saw short clips of Met Gala guests set within the museum popping up on Vogue’s Instagram. Except this year, director Bardia Zeinali carefully planned those clips to be pieced together into Camp! The Movie, in fitting with this year’s theme.
Each clip reimagines scenes from beloved camp film classics, starring major celebrity guests of the evening.
There’s Death Becomes Her, Clue and plenty more referenced in the epic two minutes of Met Gala movie magic, but Celine Dion channeling the Criminologist from Rocky Horror Picture Show tops it all.
The planning that would have gone into the execution of this homage to camp on film is so impressive that this is officially my favourite part of the entire gala.
Well done Bardia Zeinali, someone give him an Oscar for this masterpiece:
I would also like to request more pictures of this adorable Harry Styles outfit that we did not see on the pink carpet. Give the people what they want.
