THE Met Ball is one of the most long-awaited fashion events of the year. This year’s Gala honoured religious symbolism with the opening of the Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination exhibition. With such a weighty theme, celebrities and fashion designers alike transformed the red carpet into what may well be the most stylish mass ever assembled.
