The MET GALA for 2018 was a blockbuster fashion event featuring industry icons, famous models, actresses, and entertainment stars.  The annual Gala raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. The Met’s show “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”  examines engagement with devotional practices and traditions of Catholicism. I have always been fascinated by fabrics and fashion. The Gala was a little expensive at $30,000 per ticket so I’ll share just a few beautiful creations with you.

Actress Blake Lively stunned the crowed with her gown by Versace.

Amal Clooney looked amazing in this creation by Richard Quinn. Amal co-chaired the event with Anna Wintour, Rihanna, and Donatella Versace.

Kerry Washington shimmered in a Ralph Lauren gown.  Love her hair!

Rihanna goes full “Pope” in this wild creation designed by John Galliano for Maison Margiela.
