Words: Kerry Justich
Celine Dion wasn’t shy to admit that she didn’t initially understand this year’s Met Gala theme.
But she still managed to pull off the perfect look as she arrived in an Oscar de la Renta bodysuit with floor-length fringe.
The 51-year-old showed off her long legs in the over-the-top bodysuit, which weighs 22 pounds.

She might have even pulled some inspiration from her time in Las Vegas with the elaborate headpiece and silver T-strap heels.

Many people on Twitter loved the look, and all of the glitz and glam that came with it.

Others, however, had less than flattering comparisons for Dion’s evening look.

Methinks Celine may have spent a bit too much time with the showgirls during her #Vegas residency. #MetGala #MetCamp #CelineDion pic.twitter.com/FLzhPWpqm4

Still, people can’t help but to recognise that Dion certainly dressed for the camp theme.
me in #metgala comments tonight: *grits teeth* 'ACTUALLY, @celinedion is serving full drag queen tribute realness to Victor/Victoria. Which makes it 1000x more camp than you think.' pic.twitter.com/rdd6K07j0o

You think everyone’s hitting it? I think there is no in between this year and only a few hit the mark. There is big and tacky or basic but rarely camp. Celine Dion though… She brought it.

we should never have doubted that Celine Dion would BRING the camp

Celine Dion heard CAMP and came as a strong contender of best dressed for #MetGala pic.twitter.com/v9YkiuknUH
