Jamie McCarthy—Getty Images For many, the night’s missive to embody the over-the-top sensibility of camp may have been out of their comfort zone, but for Gaga, resplendent in her Brandon Maxwell gown, it was hardly amateur night — she used the red carpet as an opportunity for performance art. Beginning with walking multiple blocks in her dress with an entourage that included five dancers, her makeup artist and her personal photographer, she then removed her voluminous pink cape dress (with the help of designer Maxwell) to reveal a second look, a vampy corseted black dress. She then upped the ante by stripping to a crystal bra, undergarments and pantyhose, before changing into a third and final look, a hot pink column gown, which she wore with a pair of sunglasses and a dazzling necklace before flamboyantly applying lipstick in front of the cameras on the red carpet.

If there’s ever been a night for Gaga to shine, it’s the camp-themed Met Gala.
