Met Gala 2018: Heavenly Fashion Takes the Spotlight
The Big Reveal
On Monday night, the red‑carpet turned into a runway of miracles, as celebrities swooned over crosses, halos, angel wings and papal‑style miter gowns. It was all part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” show, a dazzling blend of style and spirituality.
Spotlight on Superstars
- Rihanna turned the drama on its head, flanked by a jeweled mask and a tiny priest’s cloak from Maison Margiela.
- Katy Perry floated above on massive white feathers, looking like an archangel over a Versace gold mini‑dress.
- Olivia Munn dazzled in a golden chain‑mail dress from H&M that screamed “Crusades chic.”
- Andrew Garfield kept it classy with a papal‑red velvet jacket, the perfect nod to “Angels in America.”
Under the Divine Theme
The dress code was “Sunday Best,” so gowns ranged from pure white to buttery yellow to daring black lace, each piece a testament to the event’s religious motif.
Headpieces & Must‑Haves
Halo style was all the craze; think Rita Ora, Anne Hathaway and Cardi B merging hair with heavenly rings. Linky crosses—around necks, wrists, belts—became the latest accessory craze, proudly worn by fashion icons such as Anna Wintour and Uma Thurman.
A Night of Glamour and Giving
The Met Gala, an invitation‑only extravaganza, not only celebrated haute couture but also raised funds for the museum and opened the bustling Costume Institute exhibit.
