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.
