The gala, which is annually held on the first Monday in May, was hosted by Rihanna, Amal Clooney, Donatella Versace, Anna Wintour and Stephen and Christine Schwarzman.
Given the theme, there was a lot of religious imagery, complete with headpieces and lots of crosses.
Here are some of the takeaways:
- Rihanna wore a papal crown and cape designed by Margiela.
- Katy Perry wore 6-foot angel wings.
- Rapper 2 Chainz popped the question to Kesha Ward, with whom he has three children. She said yes, though it was unclear if this was Epps' original proposal.
- Kim Kardashian walked the carpet solo without her husband Kanye West. This comes as a bit of a surprise to fans who have become accustomed to seeing the fashionable duo at the gala for the past several years.
- And finally, Cardi B wore a jeweled headpiece and plunging beaded gown at her first Met Gala red carpet.
