Themed ‘Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and Catholic Imagination’, celebrities honoured the MET Gala 2018 with a myriad of crowns, wreaths, halos and veils, which made the night a fashion-religion moment.

From Rihanna's bishop mitre to Cardi B's majestic crown and Lily Collins's black metal halo, headdresses were the crowning glory of the MET Gala 2018.

And here are the headpieces that stole the crown at the MET:

Cardi B's last minute add-on
