Hailey Baldwin brought back the most unlikely trend at the Met Gala: the sparkly thong.
The 22-year-old model hit the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York tonight wearing a pale pink Alexander Wang gown. In addition to featuring a sizable train, the gown was backless — and a sparkly thong was visible as she worked the red carpet.

Low-cut pants showing off thongs were popular in the early aughts, and it seems that Baldwin is using the Met Gala as a venue to revive the trend.

Lady Gaga is one of the hosts of this year’s Met Gala, alongside “Sign of the Times” singer Harry Styles and 23-time Grand Slam tennis champion Serena Williams. The theme is “Camp: Notes on Fashion” — a play on a Susan Sontag essay from the ’60s.
“Camp is esoteric — a private code or badge of identity,” Sontag wrote in the essay, citing Swan Lake, Tiffany lamps and the Art Deco movement as examples.
