IN PHOTOS: Met Gala 2018 red carpet looks
(2nd UPDATE) Ariana Grande, Kate Bosworth, Jennifer Lopez, and more 'heavenly bodies' on the Met Gala 2018 red carpet!

MANILA, Philippines (2ND UPDATE) – It’s that time of the year again! We may not know what exactly goes on inside the Met Institute during its annual fundraising gala, but we can always admire the stars’ gorgeous looks on the red carpet.

The Met Gala 2018 theme was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” and the celebrities didn’t fail to impress as they walked up the famous Met steps.

Madonna and Rihanna stunned as fashion high priestesses on the red carpet at New York’s Met Gala on Monday, May 8, headlining the most sought after invitation in the celebrity universe.

Madge, the Catholic girl from Michigan and queen of pop whose 1989 hit “Like a Prayer” remains a dance-floor classic 30 years later, presided over the “Sunday Best” theme dressed head to toe in Jean Paul Gaultier.

The 59-year-old mother of 6 balanced a golden crown studded with crucifixes on her head, shrouded her face in a black fishnet mantilla and donned a very flouncy, very full and very black gown.


Held every year on the first Monday in May, the black-tie extravaganza is the chief source of income for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, reportedly raising more than $12 million in 2017.

The gathering of A-list models, musicians and movie stars, dubbed “the Oscars of the East Coast,” saw Amal Clooney, Rihanna and Donatella Versace join Vogue supremo Anna Wintour as this year’s co-chairs.

Here are all the looks at the Met Gala 2018 that caught our eye on social media:

Like the fearless Joan of Arc, who inspired her look, Ashley Graham brings armored elegance to the 2018 Met Gala celebrating “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” With a fiercely independent and trailblazing spirit, Ashley is a leader in her own right as she takes the carpet by storm.
