Colloquially and affectionately termed “fashion’s biggest night out,” the Met Gala 2018 is a pinnacle of iconic style. A fundraising benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the event welcomes celebrity stars, young creatives, and industry paragons alike.
And the excitement doesn’t stop there—the gala also signifies the highly anticipated grand opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibition: “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” opening on May 10, 2018.
The exhibition event began last night on the iconic stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where guests swept up the red carpet for their grand entrance.
Take a look at some of the most memorable outfits of the night.
Rihanna, a co-host of this year’s Met Gala, wearing Maison Margiela Artisanal.
George and Amal Clooney, a co-host of this year’s Met Gala. Ms. Clooney is wearing Richard Quinn. And where are the couple’s twins, Alexander and Ella? “They’re under the dress,” he said.
“This is like my skin, I’m proud to be in it,” said Lena Waithe, who was regally dressed in a black suit and cape that became a broad rainbow. “I’ve got the community on my back to make sure they know I’ve got them all the time.” “The theme to me is, like, ‘Be yourself,’” Ms. Waithe said. “You were made in God’s image, right?”
