Fantasy fashion - MET Gala 2018

Runcarla

Heavenly Bodies - Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. I liked #1 Moschino and #2 Givenchy and though controversial, I liked #3 France's McDormaid in Velentino.

What about you?

Someone, I think Cara Delavigne, showed up dressed as a confessional. Love it. Pope Rihanna also killed it.

I'm seeing the exhibit next week. Soooo excited.

I was so intrigued by the fashion this year! I had a very hard time considering any it on pure fashion terms, though. The ones that affected me most were the ones that really played with Catholic/religious iconography but were still beautiful (not totally costume). I absolutely loved...

Solange Knowles's and Amber Heard's headpieces, reminiscent of saint's halos in renaissance (?) paintings
Zoe Kravitz wrapped in a mantilla
Priyank Chopra looking biblical
Juliette Binoche as a modern Mary Magdelene

IT WAS INCREDIBLE. Did you see Katie Perry's wings?

viva - When I saw Priyank Chopra I couldn't help but think that Queen Esther might have looked the same. Lots of looks to spark the imagination! However, I noticed that the guys did not dress up much. A few, but apparently not many. It looked like the women were having all the fun.

Angie - I loved that wing!

Christine F., hope you can give us some personal feedback on the exhibit!

Mel, I will! I suspect even though I'm going during a members viewing evening, it will still be mobbed. I hope my husband will have the patience for it... the fashion exhibits aren't his favorite ones.

I really enjoyed the outfits this year and seeing how everyone interpreted the theme. Plus, so much cool headwear!

Was a bit disappointed by the men. There were a few good ones but I felt like most of the guys just went for a black suit with a cross or something like that.

A few that I really liked:
1: Zendaya's Joan of Arc outfit
2: Lily Collins - love everything about this
3: Ariana Grande's sistine chapel dress

Oh, and Madonna! This theme was kind of made for her.

I was taken aback by Priyanka’s dress until I realized it was theamed. There was another Indian Bollywood wood actress Deepika Padukone but her dress though inspired by choir(Prabal Gurang) was too red carpet like

OMG-no way I could pick which ones were my favorite. Mind blown by so many of them. Too hard to evaluate, but, oh my, so very amazing.

Anyone who missed last night, I highly recommend looking at the photos online.

I know, efbgen!!!! How does she do it all? Just reading about her life exhausts me.

I don't immediately see the theme in her outfit, but I am sure it must be there. I love it regardless.
