The Metropolitan Museum of Art has confirmed the rumours about their controversial 2018 theme: religion.<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
