Met Gala 2018 Dazzled in Catholic Glamor, Igniting Controversies
Take a look at the Met Gala 2018 toppers and bloopers.
Met Gala 2018, the biggest fashion promenade happened last Monday night at Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The event that dazzled in Catholic glamor and celeb presence, etched its own place in fashion history by igniting controversies.
What happens when the soul of Catholicism blends into fashion? The answer is Met Gala 2018! Since 1948 the fundraising fashion exhibition has been drawing celebrities from the industries of film, music, and art. This year the show was themed, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”. Rihanna to Priyanka Chopra, the stars walked the red carpet flaunting some awe-inspiring, shimmering attires. The look that went instantly viral is Rihanna’s Pope look.
Katy Perry looked absolutely divine in her golden garb with those extra large angelic wings attached. Perry posed for the photographers kneeling, in a prayer posture.
Thumbs down for Sarah Jessica Parker’s oh so sparkly golden gown. She looked a bit over the top in the dress and the crown that seemed really heavy to carry.
‘Baywatch’ star Priyanka Chopra appeared in a velvety long gown coupled with a hooded cape. Experts thought the look was pious, reflecting the virtue of Mother Mary.
Actress Frances McDormand stepped in a Valentino Creation which is an aqua blue fluffy dress along with the headgear holding blue leaves. Media didn’t spare this Oscar winner from criticizing her appearance that’s pretty obscure. And in which way the entire look resembled a Church getup or the Catholic theme remains a mystery.
Anne Hathaway glammed up her look in a flaring red dress and chunky headpieces.
Although, each and every look was designed to gel with the theme, certain things surely didn’t go right. Some took to Twitter to open up and bring out their rage calling the Met Gala 2018 theme itself “disrespectful” towards Catholic religion. One thought the theme show was “offensive”. But, Fashion knows no religion! Fashion thrives on freedom and imagination that escapes all boundaries and serves all good causes.
