People Editorial Guidelines Published on May 9, 2019 12:24AM EDT Gigi Hadid is known for being in front of the camera, but now the model is taking her talents behind the scenes! Two days after she attended the Met Gala, in which she rocked a head-to-toe embellished and embroidered Michael Kors Collection catsuit with a custom matching Stephen Jones cap, the model shared some photos from her private collection that she snapped at the star-studded event. From little sister Bella Hadid to country star Kacey Musgraves to comedy favorite Tiffany Haddish, it appeared that Gigi spent her night at the annual gala mingling with pals across Hollywood — and capturing all of the memorable moments in between. In a post on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Gigi, 24, introduced the extensive collection of photos by announcing that the “Met Ball film is in …!” The first photo she shared featured a group shot of Victoria’s Secret Angels Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge and Joan Smalls. Gigi captioned the gorgeous snap, “hey angels.” Gigi Hadid/Instagram The Best Dressed from the 2019 Met Gala Red Carpet: The Craziest, Campiest and Most Couture Looks The next image candidly captured RuPaul smiling in his custom hot pink, neon orange, blue and black zebra-striped fringe ensemble, with Gigi writing underneath, “RU!

Because the country singer was wearing a gold blazer and giant ponytail, all decorated with colorful jewels — a change-up from her earlier Barbie-inspired all-pink look — Gigi couldn’t resist dropping a pun and referring to Musgraves as “a real gem.” She also snapped a pic with Alexis Ohanian, Serena Williams‘ Reddit co-founder husband, and WME rep Jill Smoller.

Gigi Hadid/Instagram What Does the 2019 Met Gala Theme, “Camp,” Actually Mean? This year was Gigi’s sixth time attending the annual gala, which celebrates the opening of the Met’s new exhibit. Since the Met Gala’s dress code always honors the exhibit’s theme, this year’s was “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” — a nod to Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay, Notes on “Camp,” which begins by defining the term as “its love of the unnatural, of artifice and exaggeration.” The public display will showcase more than 250 pieces (some dating back to the 17th century) that embody camp’s satirical elements expressed through fashion, with designs from Karl Lagerfeld, Gianni Versace, Cristóbal Balenciaga and more.
