Dazzling Rihanna steals show at Met Gala
RIHANNA reigned over the religious-themed Met Gala with a stunning dress inspired by the Pope.
The singer wore a heavily beaded Martin Margiela corset mini dress under a full skirt, coupled with a mitre-like hat.
Rihanna, who co-chaired the event alongside Amal Clooney, Donatella Versace and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, also wore a bejewelled crucifix necklace.
Amal also turned heads when she arrived alongside husband George. The human rights lawyer wore a rose-patterned skirt coupled with trousers in a look designed by British designer Richard Quinn.
Elsewhere, Kim Kardashian-West wore a skintight gold Versace dress while model Bella Hadid wore a leather and PVC gown complete with a gold cross around her neck.
Singer Katy Perry stood out among the famous faces by wearing her own set of angel wings.
She teamed the feathered accessories with a gold Versace chainlink dress with matching thigh-high boots.
Nicki Minaj announced a brand new album on the red carpet, revealing the long-awaited follow-up to 2014’s The Pinkprint will be called Queen.
The album will be released on June 15, the rapper said.
The Met Gala is one of the highlights of the fashion calendar. The fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City, chaired by Wintour, attracts some of the biggest names in showbiz.
