Everything You Need To Know About The 2018 Met Gala

It's only days away! - by Georgia Pitt
  • 02 May 2018

It’s the superbowl of the fashion industry and it’s almost upon us for another year!

 

The biggest names in fashion will converge on New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 7, but given we’re down here in the southern hempisphere that means we’ll be seeing it on Tuesday May 8.

So how can you watch the show you ask?

Well outside of all the coverage we’ll be bringing you here at marieclaire.com.au and across Instagram, Facebook and Twitter you can also watch all the fashion unfold on E! on Foxtel.

The theme for this year is “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” and is already causing controversy before the red carpet has even been rolled out.

Make of that what you will, but we envisage a whole lot of culturally inappropriate outfits (with a dash of sartorial genius courtesy of Rihanna of course).

As a semi-explainer, the museum’s curator, Andrew Bolton, told the New York Times, “the focus is on a shared hypothesis about what we call the Catholic imagination and the way it has engaged artists and designers and shaped their approach to creativity, as opposed to any kind of theology or sociology.” This year's exhibition will also reportedly include garments on loan from the Sistine Chapel, some of which have never been seen outside of the Vatican.

Considering the state of the Catholic Church these days, there’s no doubt the theme is going to attract some controversy, which Bolton himself acknowledges.

"We know it could be controversial for right wing or conservative Catholics and for liberal Catholics," Bolton told the Times. 

Beyonce

One thing we can get behind though is the trio of ladies hosting the event – Rihanna, Amal Clooney and Donatella Versace. Finally, Rihanna is getting the credit she deserves for out-dressing everyone else every year. Amen to that!
