After he ascended the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday night, Frank Ocean joked on Instagram that he was the 2019 Met Gala’s valet. He showed off his comparatively casual hoodie with a snapshot of himself on the pink carpet, along with the cheeky caption: “The valet wears Prada.”

He may not have been tasked with parking any cars (not even Kacey Musgraves’s hot pink Barbie convertible), but Ocean did have a job to do on the night of the Met: to once again photograph all of the familiar faces inside.

Naturally, the talented lensman accomplished this exceedingly well, sharing an exclusive edit of images that he took inside the museum with his trusty film camera. Ocean’s keen eye captured everything from Kendall Jenner in an especially provocative moment to Jared Leto’s detached Gucci head making the rounds at dinner. (And, of course, Ocean included some dapper shots of himself too.) The Met might be the most anticipated fashion happening of the year, but beyond the red carpet, the events inside the museum are largely hidden from view. Here, get an intimate insider’s view of the Met, as seen by Ocean.
