The stars turned up the heat on the 2018 Met Gala red carpet! The theme for the evening was "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination." Some guests fully committed with elaborate headpieces and bejeweled gowns, while others opted for more understated ensembles that didn't strictly adhere to the theme. Here are the most impressive looks from fashion's biggest night:
All praise Queen Rih! Can Rihanna ever miss? She's famous for stealing the show at the Met Gala year after year, and this time was no exception. She arrived in a custom beaded Maison Margiela outfit, fully embracing the Catholic theme with a papal tiara inspired by those worn by popes. Rihanna always seems to get it right, and we're totally here for it. Stunning!
Not many celebrities attend their first Met Gala while pregnant, but Cardi B is no ordinary star! She refused to let her baby bump slow her down. The Bronx-born rapper and fashionista brought serious style in a custom Moschino dress that hugged her bump while still showing off cleavage and legs with a high thigh slit. The embellished gown featured a matching headpiece that adorned her hair. To complete her jeweled look, she wore a thick garnished choker and matching gloves. Safe to say she dripped from head to toe!
Kim Kardashian went sleek and chic in a curve-hugging Versace dress. The shimmering gold gown featured two crystal crosses to nod to the night's theme. Kim's high ponytail and smokey eye makeup were absolutely gorgeous for the occasion. Stunning!
Jasmine Sanders was a fan favorite on Instagram! She wowed in a gold structured H&M gown. What readers loved most were the roses woven into her braid cascading down her back. While others rocked statement headpieces, she simply gave her everyday "headpiece" an upgrade. What a goddess!
Power couple! New parents Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott weren't exactly on theme, but they brought their A-game in Alexander Wang. Kylie flaunted her curves in a black dress with cutouts, while Travis opted for a military-inspired all-black look.
Rita Ora graced the carpet in a sheer Prada dress paired with an oversized black headpiece.
JLo was a hot mama on the carpet! The ageless songstress posed in a Balmain dress featuring a huge bedazzled cross and added shoulder details. The sexy gown had a high thigh slit and feathered train. She better work!
Chadwick Boseman represented for the men on the carpet, fully embracing the theme in head-to-toe Versace. His cape was covered in crosses, and his pants featured brocade printing down the leg. Well done for his first Met!
Versace, Versace, Versace! We could have guessed this one—Migos hit the carpet in Versace ensembles. Although each suit had different prints, they complemented each other perfectly. Bomb!
Nicki Minaj is back and coming strong! She graced the carpet in an ombré Oscar de la Renta dress with a red tulle drape. The Queens rapper accessorized with a bejeweled headpiece and Lesilla sandals. Red looks amazing on Nicki!
Zendaya debuted her hot new hair color and cut on the carpet, which complemented her silver chain Versace dress with sleeves and a waistline reminiscent of armor shields. Hot!
Sarah Jessica Parker is known for iconic Met Gala looks, and she didn't come to play this year! She posed in a gold brocade Dolce & Gabbana dress adorned with red hearts throughout. She topped it off with a matching headpiece to address the theme. Did she nail it?!
It was all about black and white for Janelle Monae as she hit the carpet in a Marc Jacobs ensemble.
Mary J Blige stays consistent with her style—she loves her boots! She posed on the carpet glowing in a light blue Versace dress with gold embellishment. Thigh-high slits were a trend this year, and Mary showed off her matching boots through the slit. Gorgeous!
Issa Rae looked regal in a belted black and gold Michael Kors dress. As an added touch, her makeup was flawless!
Blake Lively stunned in a burgundy Versace dress with an embroidered train that gracefully followed her up the famous stairs.
Diddy and Cassie took a menswear-inspired approach this year and switched things up. Diddy rocked an all-white Musika Frere suit, while Cassie opted for a Thom Browne suit with a feminine touch. Yara Shahidi looked adorable on the carpet in head-to-toe Chanel SS18. She's such a class act at a young age with effortless style. Slay, Yara! Kendall Jenner kept it simple in an Off-White off-the-shoulder jumpsuit with tulle details at the top. She usually goes bolder, but she still looked amazing!
Gigi Hadid smized on the carpet in a beaded butterfly wing Versace dress. Come through, Gabby! We can all agree that yellow and melanin go hand in hand. It was an effortless slay for Gabrielle Union in a plunging neckline Prabal Gurung dress. The yellow looked amazing on Gabby's skin and had her glowing on the carpet. She also tried out a new high-bun style.

Ariana Grande swapped her signature high ponytail for a headpiece on the carpet. She looked graceful in a strapless Vera Wang gown. The Catholic theme of the night called for the religious print on the dress. Katy Perry made quite an entrance with huge angel wings that could rival Victoria's Secret runway show wings. She wore a gold Versace dress with a beaded net over it and completed her look with gold thigh-high boots. She certainly turned heads!
