Brandon Maxwell created the 2019 Met Gala gown that Lady Gaga revealed during her multi-look red-carpet entrance.
Gaga arrived at the 2019 gala in a voluminous pink Brandon Maxwell gown. During the entrance, she and her team transformed the look through a sequence of outfit changes, moving from the large gown to increasingly revealing black and pink ensembles. The theatrical presentation strongly matched the evening’s “Notes on Camp” dress code.
Maxwell is an American fashion designer who founded his namesake label in 2015. He had also worked as a stylist and was closely associated with Gaga’s fashion image. The 2019 presentation became one of the event’s most discussed examples of camp through spectacle, transformation, and deliberate excess.
The designer is sometimes confused with Gaga’s other major fashion collaborators, including Alexander McQueen and Valentino. Maxwell designed this specific 2019 Met Gala look and its coordinated sequence of changes.
