From maximalist to minimalist, the 2018 Met Gala was all about who can overwhelm and underwhelm in the best way possible.
The theme this year was "heavenly bodies" and everyone came out to impress with their interpretation of what that could mean. Celebrities often opt not to have serious headwear when it comes to events such as the Met Gala, to prevent neck cramps, headaches or injury, but not this year. Elaborate crowns, veils and headpieces were spotted everywhere for fashion’s biggest night.
Rihanna’s papal-inspired white Margiela topper matched her crystal minidress, coat and Cartier jewels, while “Golden Barbie” Jasmine Sanders opted for a spectacular rose-festooned braid. Frances McDormand made a statement in voluminous feather-adorned headpiece, while Amanda Seyfried went with a golden tiara. And let Us not forget, Kate Bosworth and Bella Hadid, who paid homage to the Catholic Church’s pre-Vatican II era with intricate veils.
