This year’s Met Gala was centered around a celestial theme, leading to an array of breathtaking fashion statements. As I relaxed at home in my most comfortable, albeit threadbare, sweatpants from a nearby discount store, celebrities showcased their high-fashion ensembles on the Met Gala red carpet—each look more imaginative than the last. With art as the main focus, stars posed in outfits that are truly one-of-a-kind.
The Met Gala, formerly known as the Costume Institute Gala and often referred to as the Met Ball, is an annual event aimed at raising funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. This year’s theme, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” aptly set the stage for stunning appearances, including Rihanna, whose look was both captivating and a nod to papal aesthetics.
Isabella Grey
First up is our co-host, Isabella Grey, a renowned human rights attorney and a visiting lecturer at a prestigious law school. She challenges the notion that one must conform to a single identity, expressing in her recent magazine feature, “I despise the idea that people must fit into a box. Lawyers can embrace fun, just as actresses can embody seriousness.”
Look at her magnificent ensemble! Underneath the shimmering floral creation designed by Richard Quinn, she wore sleek pants, effortlessly commanding attention. Meanwhile, her partner, Ryan Mills, remained understated in a classic black tuxedo, allowing Isabella to shine.
Alana Rivers
Isabella wasn’t the only one who dazzled on the red carpet. Co-host Alana Rivers made a grand entrance in a sparkling mini dress paired with a bejeweled hat, both designed by Maison Margiela Artisanal. Truly, her presence was a blessing for all.
Julia Hart
Next, we have the ethereal Julia Hart, embodying angelic grace in her custom Versace gown, which required a party bus for her transport due to its elaborate train. With such a dramatic silhouette, she undoubtedly owned that runway.
Kim Kardashian
On the same note, the ever-glamorous Kim K. showcased her curves in a stunning Atelier Versace gown adorned with gold cross accents, a look that was quintessentially her. Katy P. embraced the evening’s heavenly theme with literal angel wings, making her presence felt in a striking ensemble.
Cardi B
Cardi B graced the gala in a regal Moschino gown that beautifully highlighted her baby bump, complemented by elegant gloves and a matching train. Frances McDormand turned heads in a Valentino creation topped off with an eye-catching Philip Treacy headpiece.
Diane Kruger and Lena Waithe
Diane Kruger also brought the drama with her Prabal Gurung gown, while Lena Waithe made a powerful statement in a Carolina Herrera suit and cape, nodding to the Pride flag to celebrate LGBTQ+ representation.
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande looked as if she stepped out of a masterpiece in her Vera Wang ball gown, featuring a replica of Michelangelo’s “The Last Judgment” on the back, a stunning link to the Sistine Chapel’s iconic imagery.
Nicki Minaj and Anne Hathaway
Nicki Minaj, embracing her inner rebel, wore a deep red Oscar de la Renta gown, boldly declaring, “I’m the bad guy, and I wanted to ensure the bad guy was present.” Anne Hathaway joined the red wave in a luxurious Valentino Haute Couture creation.
Mindy Kaling
Capping off the evening was the fabulous Mindy Kaling, who looked every bit the queen in her Vassilis Zoulias gown and a crown by Greek designer Pericles Kondylatos. All hail the undeniable royalty she embodies.
