Get Around The Absurdly Glam Red Carpet At The Rihanna-Hosted 2018 Met Gala

The Met Gala 2018 is finally here, and with it the only host worthy of such an accolade: Rihanna, who has never wavered in her dedication to this fashion night of nights.

Everyone else could turn up literally dripping in gold and angel tears and Rihanna would still out-slay them all.

The theme this year is Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, which could also be interpreted as Obscene Wealth and Centuries-Old Institution. Co-hosting alongside Rihanna are Amal Clooney and Donatella Versace, which is just perfect assigning from Anna Wintour. The Holy Trinity. And to think, last year, someone thought Katy Perry would be a good host.

Anyway, it’s arrivals time, baby. Here’s what the celebs are cooking up.

AMAL CLOONEY

AND GEORGE CLOONEY

Amal’s dress / pants situation would work no where else but the Met Gala, and it’s perfect.

ANNA WINTOUR

BEE SHAFFER

A.K.A. Anna Wintour’s daughter, looking like a goddamn princess (and you can’t see it, but her clutch has a giant, Catholic-style cross on it).

LAURA LOVE

She’s a singer-songwriter who you may or may not have heard of, but she’s pulling off Catholic iconography with schoolgirl naughtiness here and I love it.

A.K.A. Golden Barbie on Instagram.
