The celebs brought the heat to the 2018 Met Gala Red Carpet! This year’s theme was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” While some attendees dressed for the theme in over-the-top headpieces and gowns festooned with beads, others chose to just dress without playing along with the theme. Here were some of the hottest looks that walked the biggest carpet of the year:
All hail, Queen Rih! Can Rihanna do any wrong? She is known for consistently shutting the Met Gala carpet down every year, and tonight was no different. She made her entrance in a custom beaded Maison Margiela ensemble. She fully embraced the Catholicism theme wearing a papal tiara inspired by the hats worn by popes. Rih somehow seems to always get it, and we are here for it. Bomb!
Not many celebs attend their first Met Gala pregnant, but Cardi B is not any other celeb! She is not letting this baby bump slow her down one bit! The Bronx native rapper and fashionista brought the heat to the carpet in custom Moschino dress that hugged her belly and still allowed her to be sexy while showing off some cleavage and legs with a high thigh slit. The embellished dress had a matching headpiece that on Cardi’s head accessorizing her hair for the night. To add to her bejeweled look, she wore thick garnished choker and matching cloves. Safe to say she came through drippin’ from head to toe!
Kim Kardashian kept it sleek and chic in a curve-hugging Versace dress. The shimmery gold dress featured two crystal crosses to play into the theme for the night. Kim’s high ponytail and smokey eye was extremely gorgeous for the occasion. Stunning!Jasmine Sanders was a reader favorite on the ‘Gram! She stunned in a H&M gold structured gown. The highlight of her look that readers loved were the roses wefted into her braid going down her back. While everyone rocked statement headpieces, she just gave her everyday “headpiece” a pick me up. What a goddess!
Bomb couple! New parents, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott weren’t quite on theme, but they brought their A-game in Alexander Wang. Kylie showed off her curves in her all black dress and we even peeked at a little skin through her cutout. Travis went for a military-inspired look in his all black.
