Rihanna (2018 Met Gala)

At the 2018 Met Gala, Rihanna embraced the theme “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” with unparalleled audacity and artistry, wearing a papal-inspired ensemble designed by John Galliano for Maison Margiela. The gown was a marvel of fashion craftsmanship, featuring rich, intricate beading and an extravagant train, topped off with a meticulously embellished mitre that mirrored traditional papal attire. Rihanna’s choice to embody the theme so literally and luxuriously captured both the spirit of the event and her own fearless fashion identity. Her look not only dominated the evening’s conversation but also set a new standard for thematic red carpet fashion, reinforcing her status as a leading figure in pushing the boundaries of celebrity style.
