The Met Gala fundraiser for New York’s Metropolitan Museum Of Art took place last night, and the celebrities were out in force, but were the fashions hellishly good or holy disasters?
With the theme of Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, there were more crosses on display than at a Madonna gig in the 90s. Oh, and heads up, Pope Francis, if you need a new hat any time soon, supplies might be limited.
Oh yes she Vati-can. After coming dressed as an omelette a few years ago, LGBT+ advocate Rihanna jumps out of the frying pan and into this pearl and crystal encrusted Maison Margiela sacrilicious stunner.
Caped crusader Lena Waithe didn’t just wave the flag for her LGBT+ community, she wore it, delivering a brilliant take on the theme of Catholic Imagination.
Lana Del Rey and Jared Leto came as Jesus and Mary Magdalene going to the prom in the 1970s. We’re not complaining.
Blake Lively’s Versace gown was so huge she apparently had to travel by bus to the ball. That’s my excuse for using public transport too.
Solange Knowles went all out as usual in a stunning Iris van Herpen architectural outfit which doubled as a place to set your drinks.
Arianna Grande saved 1000’s of tourists from whiplash in a billowy Vera Wang gown imprinted with the Sistine Chapel ceiling fresco.
Straight from the altar and onto the runway, Chadwick Boseman was a wise in-vestment.
Katy Perry climbed down from her Christmas tree and came as the person everyone dreaded they were seated beside. Or behind.
Sarah Jessica Parker was serving Last Emperor realness, although if she raised one arm up and down slowly, she’d look suspiciously like one of those waving Chinese cats.
Lily Collins was having nun of it in this Wednesday Addams hits the convent number. Turns out religious orders have been rocking the LBD for years.
One of the fashion industries biggest fundraisers, here’s to many more years of Met Gala miracles and monstrosities.
