Ale Al Zadjali presents his take on this year’s ‘Heavenly Bodies’ MET theme, which he describes as the best red carpet of all time.
Every year I make an attempt to not fully indulge my time discussing every detail from the MET gala, and I often end up failing.
Luckily, this year I couldn’t, even if I wanted to. Under the theme of ‘Heavenly Bodies,’ I believe we got one of the best red carpets of all time. Sure, not everyone honoured the night’s theme, but even the ones that didn’t still turn out fierce looks! I was thoroughly satisfied with everyone’s look, except Selena Gomez, who I am pretending wasn’t there.
Let me talk about the best of the night, starting with Blake Lively. This is an obvious choice because she looked stunning; the dress was stunning and the amount of details on it tells you everything about why she deserved to be called the best dressed. Ariana Grande comes in second with a look that was in theme, true to her aesthetic and glamorous side at the same time. When it came to simplicity, Kim Kardashian and Priyanka Chopra thoroughly impressed me.
Once I heard the theme, months ago, I knew that the top two of the night were bound to be Madonna and Lady Gaga, as they are the most familiar with the theme. Unfortunately, Gaga was a no show and Madonna toned down her look, giving us just a tease of the classic Madonna. This would have upset me much more had I not watched clips of her surprise performance at the event.
Still, one of the most remarkable carpets from 2018!
