The Met Gala—otherwise considered the Oscars of the fashion world—draws A-listers and fashion’s elite to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for a red carpet spectacular that serves as the debut for The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition each year. The theme for spring 2018: Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, the most controversial to date, which will showcase fashion’s ongoing engagement with the devotional practices and traditions of Catholicism. Sartorial heavyweights Rihanna, Amal Clooney and Donatella Versace are the co-hosts for the evening, which means the red carpet will be fiercely led by looks not to miss. Here, we recount the most incredible fashion moments of the evening.
