2018 Met Gala Red Carpet Overview

The 2018 Met Gala took place last night in New York, and this year’s theme was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and Catholic Imagination.” A-list stars and some of the fashion industry’s top designers came out in full religious-themed looks that were over the top.

Rihanna, who’s had some of the most iconic looks in Met Gala history, wore a Pope-inspired mini dress by John Galliano. To top it off she wore a Bishop headpiece that was designed by Stephen Jones. Another stunner on the red carpet was Cardi B, who made her very first Met Gala appearance walking with designer Jeremy Scott, creative director for Moschino. The two matched in outfits Scott designed. Black-ish and Grown-ish star, Yara Shahidi also made her first Met appearance looking like a heavenly princess in a mid-length dress by Chanel.

Met Gala veteran Jennifer Lopez came with boyfriend A-Rod, and never disappoints on the red carpet. She wore a stunning gown with a long feather train by Balmain. The custom-made gown also showed off a bright colored cross that went perfect with the night’s theme.
