Met Gala 2018, Fashion and the Catholic Imagination……
Hosted by Rihanna, Amal Clooney, and Donatella Versace, the theme for this year’s Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute exhibit is, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.”
The exhibit on will feature some 40 Vatican vestments and accessories spanning 15 papacies, which curator Andrew Bolton is said to have visited at least 10 times to secure pieces which have never left the Vatican’s possession before, according to Vogue. Items such as Pope Benedict XV’s white silk cape embroidered with gold thread and the pointed bishop’s hat of Pope Leo XIII, will go on display alongside pieces by Coco Chanel, who was educated by nuns, John Galliano, Cristóbal Balenciaga and Donatella Versace, who is a sponsor of the exhibition.
The Met Gala is Monday, May 7, 2018.
