Rihanna’s reign as queen of the Met Gala continued Monday night.
The singer, actress, fashion designer and beauty mogul wowed in a pope-themed look at fashion’s most important night, taking this year’s “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” theme to new, divine heights.
She was an honorary co-chair for the event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, alongside Donatella Versace and Amal Clooney. Rihanna wore an astoundingly intricate, embellished mini dress outfit custom-made by creative director John Galliano from Maison Margiela.
“The outfit is a three coordinated piece, comprising of a sculptural jacket and a skirt worn over a bustier dress and a custom made hat,” the brand said in a statement on Instagram. “In total, the outfit took 250 hours to sew and 500 hours to hand embroider by Maison Margiela’s Paris Atelier.”
She completed her look with a bishop’s hat from Stephen Jones, silver Christian Louboutin heels and a crucifix pendant from Cartier Collection worn as a necklace.
Dripping in jewels and excess, the singer even bleached her eyebrows to complete the positively dramatic ― and papal ― look:
“It feels expensive. It’s heavy,” Rihanna told Vogue of her look. “It was designed by John Galliano. We’ve had a few fittings, we’ve had a few colors. They beaded this by hand and I just ― it would be a sin not to wear it.”
People clearly loved Rihanna’s outfit on social media and couldn’t get enough of her look ― or their Met Gala pope:
Now it’s time to count down the days till next year’s look.
