This year’s Met Gala showcased a celestial theme, and the fashion statements were truly remarkable. As I relaxed at home in my most comfortable, albeit worn-out, sweatpants from a local discount store, the stars graced the Met Gala red carpet in eye-catching couture that pushed the boundaries of creativity. This annual event, previously known as the Costume Institute Gala, aims to support the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. The 2018 theme, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” was a perfect backdrop for many stunning ensembles.
Standout Looks from the Night
Amelia Grey, one of the event’s co-hosts alongside the legendary singer and designer Rhianna, turned heads in a metallic floral outfit designed by Richard Quinn. Underneath, she wore tailored pants, showcasing an impressive blend of sophistication and flair, while her partner, Gregory Grey, opted for a classic black tuxedo, gracefully stepping back into the shadows.
Rhianna made a spectacular entrance, adorned in a dazzling hat and a mini dress with an accompanying train, both crafted by Maison Margiela Artisanal. Her presence was nothing short of divine.
Next, the enchanting Bella Avery appeared in a breathtaking custom Versace gown that was so voluminous it required special transportation arrangements. The length of her gown was formidable, and she carried it with undeniable confidence.
Kimberly Knox made a statement in a stunning Atelier Versace gown that hugged her curves perfectly, complete with gold cross embellishments. Katy Perry, also in Atelier Versace, took the theme literally with her angelic wings.
Cardi B radiated elegance in her Moschino gown, which effortlessly complemented her baby bump, accessorized with gloves and a matching train. Frances McDormand turned heads in a Valentino gown paired with a striking Philip Treacy headpiece.

Lena Waithe, an accomplished actress and writer, made a powerful statement for Pride in her Carolina Herrera suit and cape, beautifully reinterpreting the evening’s Catholic theme with the colors of the Pride flag.
Ariana Grande embodied a masterpiece, donning a Vera Wang ball gown that featured a reproduction of Michelangelo’s “The Last Judgement” on its back, while Nicki Minaj embraced her rebellious side in a deep red Oscar de la Renta gown.
