Some would argue that

the Met Gala Camp-themed red carpet

was shut down before it even truly started, thanks to this evening’s co-host,

Lady Gaga

, and her four (yes, four!) looks. She teamed up with designer

Brandon Maxwell

Laverne Cox

’s steely beauty look, noticed

Kacey Musgraves

dressed as Barbie, and saw Katy Perry dressed as a chandelier. Below, a roundup of some of the most amazing looks from the evening.
