On May 7, 2018, we will witness the most fashionable event of the year, the Met Gala. This year's Met is hosted by Amal Clooney, Rihanna and Donatella Versace. We all know how much influence these women have in their career as well as their fashion choices and we couldn't wait for what touches these women made to make the event memorable despite the already controversial theme: Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. The theme itself reminded us of Nicki Minaj's 2012 Grammy red carpet choice wherein she wore a red habit-like coat with a huge Versace logo. If that wasn't enough, she even brought with her a man dressed like a pope. This year's Met aims to create a dialogue between fashion and masterworks of religious art.
