Last night, Manhattan was overwhelmed with glitz, glamor, and sacrilege thanks to The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala. The theme of this year’s event was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” And some of our favorite stars went all out for their big moment on those iconic steps. Here’s a round-up of the looks that had us gagging on eleganza.
Openly gay Emmy-winner Lena Waithe wore her pride as a cape, which seemed a challenge for “Catholic Imagination” to include embracing their LGBTQA+ members.
