This year's spectacle is inspired by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay Notes on 'Camp', and guests at this year's party are invited to explore what 'camp' fashion means to them. "I think this year's exhibition more possibly than any other, is about self-expression and individuality," Anna has previously said in a video for Vogue. "I think we're all most hoping to see I something that is outrageous, that is fun, tongue in cheek, so my guess is that we're going to see a very large amount of feathers on the red carpet." Let's find out! Scroll down to see all our favourite show-stoppers…

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Lady Gaga was the first to arrive on the red carpet, giving photographers a full spectacle in an incredible creation by long-time collaborator Brandon Maxwell. Arriving in an incredible hot pink parachute gown, she was escorted by a group of male dancers who helped her in her performance to open the carpet.

Later, she removed her gown to reveal a stunning black ball gown, then again to a neon pink fitted gown and again to underwear and fishnets, wheeling a 'Haus of Gaga' champagne trolley. What. An. Entrance.

Janelle Monae arguably made one of the biggest statements in this incredible custom dress by Christian Siriano – complete with a blinking eye detail.

She also wore one of the most memorable hair looks of the night, studded with red lip details. The look was created by her go-to hairdresser Nikki Nelms.

The incredible Billy Porter also made quite the entrance, carried in on a Egyptian-inspired bed by six Broadway performers! His wow-worthy winged gold bodysuit was made by The Blondes, as was his custom headpiece.

We loved Cara Delevingne in this beautiful rainbow outfit, no doubt inspired by the Pride movement. Her quirky headdress featured kitsch bananas, fake teeth and fried eggs. Love!

As ever, Jared Leto made a statement in an embellished Gucci gown - and by, er, carrying his own head (like models at the fashion house's A/W '18 show).

Also in Gucci was Harry Styles, as the new face of the brand. For his first appearance at the gala, and as the youngest co-chair the event has ever had, he wore a sheer pussybow shirt and ultra high-waisted trousers.

Kylie and Kendall Jenner were also in attendance, looking glamorous in feathered creations.
