The Costume Institute has tapped three of fashion’s most influential women to host the 2018 Met Gala, which will celebrate the theme, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.”
Selected by Anna Wintour, the 2018 hosts are Donatella Versace, Amal Clooney and Rihanna, who take over hosting duties from 2017’s Katy Perry, Pharrell, Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady.
The annual soiree, held on the first Monday of May, is a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, and a kick-off to the year’s exhibit in the space. It’s also a magnet for A-listers, earning its monicker of the party of the year.
Clooney has attended one Met Gala in the past, making her debut in 2015 for the “China: Through the Looking Glass” celebration. Rihanna has attended seven Met Galas and performed at two, landing on best dressed lists at 2017’s Comme des Garçons exhibition with her eye-popping dress by the night’s honoree, Rei Kawakubo.
Meanwhile, Donatella Versace is a true Met Gala veteran, attending 16 of the events over the years.
The 2018 Met Gala descends on the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 7, 2018.
