The Costume Institute for the Met has announced the theme for the 2018 gala, and designers are quaking in their boots. Titled “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”, the theme is intended to explore the historical relationship between religion and fashion.
This is not the first time the iconic gala has pushed boundaries. However, in choosing a theme so close to the current political climate we cannot help but wonder what message the museum hopes to portray.
Fans of the gala have reacted with excitement and curiosity. Everyone is interested to see how our favourite celebrities will tackle such a controversial and potentially very sensitive theme.
Alongside the announcement of the theme, the Met have also revealed Rihanna, Amal Clooney and Donatella Versace as co-hosts. Cue excited screams from social media everywhere. What can we expect to see? No doubt Madonna with burning crosses in tow and Kim K sporting a halo Jesus style… So Vogue.
What are your thoughts on the theme and who are you most excited to see?
