Shawn Mendes had the best suit at the Met Gala.

When it came to the 'camp' theme, Mendes went subtle and it worked. Styled in head-to-toe Saint Laurent, the singer proved the power of a super slim suit, open shirt and regal hair.

The Met Gala is the most formal event of the year on the fashion calendar. So for men, a suit is a strong go-to. But how do you manage formal while also embracing the theme of “camp”? Well, we're glad you asked. Shawn Mendes last night, proved that a Western style two-piece and golden highlights were the codes required for a sharp arrival to the sartorial event.

Styled head-to-toe in Saint Laurent, the Canadian songwriter ticked the camp theme in the subtlest of manners. Super slim silhouette, unbuttoned shirt with silver linings - all get big ticks. It’s a testament to Anthony Vaccarello, who, since joining Saint Laurent last year, has begun to blur the lines of conventional gendered dressing. Sharp tailoring for masculinity and soft layering for femininity, the balance of the two is bound to ensure a charming receipt, as evidenced by Mendes last night.
