The Met Gala is one of the most anticipated annual events held at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The fundraiser began in 1948 to encourage donations by founder Eleanor Lambert. Every year the invited celebrities dazzle the red carpet dressed in costumes designed as per the theme of the event. And 2018 was no different.

Like each year, the theme for 2018 was quite offbeat. ‘Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination’ being this year’s theme, the celebrities attended the event in Catholicism-inspired costumes.

Lana Del Rey & Jared Leto

I know I’m boring with this shit, but I’m shipping Lana and Jared so hard. They’re so aesthetic together. They look like they could host some Rothschild Illuminati party or some kind of White Sabbath. Dream. 🌟🌟🌟 #lanadelrey #jaredleto #gucci #metgala #metgala2018 #30secondstomars #music

Amei tanto o tema do MET desse ano que vale postar os meus looks favoritos. Amo esse evento porque mistura 2 coisas que eu amo: moda e museu! Hahaha A exposiçao “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” fica aberta no MET em NY do dia 10 de Maio a 8 de Outubro com peças originais da sacristia da Capela Sistina, robes dos Papas e outros acessorios, muitos nunca exibidos ao publico antes. Quem estiver em NY é uma otima opçao de cultura. 📍 @metmuseum . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #photooftheday #metmuseum #metgala #metheavenlybodies #metgala2018 #fashion #art #museum #fashiontips #kimkardashian #sjp #jlo #blakelively #versace #gucci #ny #tipsdagaby
