Lady Gaga, Serena Williams, Harry Styles, and Alessandro Michele are joining Vogue editor Anna Wintour as co-chairs of the 2019 Met Gala.

The theme is "Camp: Notes on Fashion," based on Susan Sontag's 1964 essay "Notes on 'Camp.'" Michele, the creative director of Gucci, told Vogue that Sontag's essay "perfectly expresses what camp truly means to me: The unique ability of combining high art and pop culture." The annual gala in New York City will be held on May 6, ahead of the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institution's exhibit of the same name.
