There are two distinct parts of the \"Camp: Notes on Fashion\" exhibit. The first, focuses on the origins of camp from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The second shows how elements of camp -- including humor, irony and parody -- have been expressed in fashion.

Pieces from designers like Balenciaga, Jean Paul Gaultier and Jeremy Scott will be on display, along with notable red carpet looks like Cardi B's oyster 2019 Grammy dress and Bjork's swan dress she wore to the 2001 Academy Awards.

The co-chairs for this year's Met Gala are Lady Gaga, Alessandro Michele, Harry Styles, Serena Williams and Anna Wintour. The gala raises money each year for the Costume Institute to provide annual funding for exhibitions, publications and acquisitions.

Celebrities will take to the red carpet Monday tonight to show off their own spin on \"Camp\" fashion.

Ferren Gipson, a London-based art historian and host of the \"Art Matters\" podcast, said she expects the clothing to be \"elaborate and bordering on the absurd.\"

The exhibit will be on display to the public at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from May 9 to September 8.
