Frank Ocean described his 2019 Met Gala look on Instagram as “the valet wears Prada,” joking that his more casual appearance stood out compared to other guests at the camp-themed event. On Monday, May 6, he arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City wearing a classic white dress shirt, black slacks, a black tie, and a black hoodie by the Italian fashion house Prada. It was his fourth time attending the annual fundraiser for the Met’s Costume Institute and his second time photographing it for Vogue.

Throughout the evening, the “Lens” singer kept a Contax T3 35mm camera in hand to snap candid moments of fellow attendees, resulting in the photo diary below. The gallery features many notable faces in extravagant attire across 36 frames.
