Katy Perry showed up with an electrifying interpretation of the 2019 Met Gala theme.

Fashion icons and Hollywoods biggest stars stepped out on the first Monday in May for the annual Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute gala. This years exhibit and theme is Camp: Notes on Fashion, inspired by Susan Sontags famous 1964 essay in which she argues that camp is love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration ... style at the expense of content.

Perry collaborated with Moschino designer Jeremy Scott on her outrageous chandelier-inspired outfit for the night.

Who has ever been to a ball that did not have a chandelier?! Scott asked Vogue . The idea of elegance itself is quite camp and I wanted to play with that concept, poke a lil fun at it with a loving nudge.

Kerrys outfit is perhaps even more intricate than one would imagine. Scott told Vogue it took his team six weeks just to place thousands of Swarovski crystals on the dress. Then they used actual chandelier parts and created a corset with two hidden battery packs so the outfit actually functions as a light fixture.
