The Best Dressed (and Campiest) Men of the 2019 Met Gala

What is "camp"? was a question on many people's minds leading up to the 2019 Met Gala, the theme of which was "Camp: Notes on Fashion." You can read one of the many explainers that are out there, sure, but after last night's red carpet, here's what we can tell you camp is. Camp is Katy Perry showing up dressed as a chandelier (and inexplicably changing into a hamburger costume just hours later). Camp is Kacey Musgraves channeling Malibu Barbie and driving up in her own Barbie car. It's Lady Gaga making making five outfit changes before even making it to the front door and Lizzo in head-to-toe flamingo pink from her Marie Antoinette-esque wig to her feathery cape. Camp includes a touch of Cher and a hint of David Bowie (two iconic references many of the hair and makeup artists name-dropped last night as inspiration), and if your ensemble doubles as a performance piece (here's looking at you Zendaya), then all the better.

But it wasn't just the women who went all out channeling the gala's theme. The male attendees used the opportunity to flex their sartorial muscles and get creative. We saw custom-made suit jackets in bold prints and covered in embellishments. We saw kilts and capes, mile-long trains and velvet tuxedos, and sheer blouses and simple anoraks. And who could forget Billy Porter's grand (and gilded) entrance and Jared Leto's interesting accessory choice (err . . . umm . . . his own head?). Their looks were full of color and texture and excitement, something we hope to see more of in the future - theme or no theme.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
