Met Gala Red Carpet: Every look that gave us everything & more!
This year the Met Gala Red Carpet was defintiely fashionably fulfilling. The theme of Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination is easily translatable. The exhibit celebrates and questions the long history the Catholic religion and fashion have. Stars are expected to translate the fashion found in the Catholic church on the red carpet.
.
There are those who dress on theme modestly, and those who go to the extreme, and those who rebel. This event is considered the party of the year on the East Coast, it is a black-tie affair hosted by Anna Wintour. As Attendees everyone is expected to raise money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. This year’s the co-hosts were Rihanna, Donatella Versace, and Amal Clooney. Typically the hosts lead the way in dressing for the theme.

Take it to the Extreme
Every year, fashion addicts watch this red carpet in high hopes of seeing what looks will walk up the famous Met Steps. There are those who never disappoint such has this year’s co-host Rihanna (remember that infamous 2016 look) or Sarah Jessica Parker. Well, these two ladies have been giving us “YASSS” vibes since Monday nights gala! Katy Perry rolled up in a Rolls Royce looking legit like an Arc-Angel that could have stepped out of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet.

Rebels that still got it right
,
The best part of the Metgala carpet is always to see how people translate the theme into their gowns and tuxedos. However, sometimes, you get a rebel’s take, for instance, Elle Fanning in 2015, she wore a Cinderella look that was a stark contrast to Rihanna’s actual Comme Des Garcon outfit. Point aside, take a look at our favorite stunning but not on theme looks from the “heavenly” carpet.
