It's the event President Trump proposed to Melania and Taylor Swift danced her way into a romance with Tom Hiddleston and it's also the event Priyanka Chopra got trolled for the most. Well, it's that time again! The Met Gala, the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute which corresponds with the opening of a new fashion-centered exhibit, is traditionally held on the first Monday of May which this year unfolds on the 7th of May and it brings together the biggest names in entertainment, fashion and politics for one night of revelry in New York.

Now, coming to the most interesting topic regarding the Met Gala...it's theme of course! The Costume Institute's spring 2018 exhibition, from which the Met Gala gets its sartorial theme, will be "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination." The exhibit, which will feature papal robes and accessories from the Vatican alongside designs from names including Coco Chanel and John Galliano, will be the largest in the Costume Institute's history, spanning three of the museum's spaces: the medieval galleries, the Anna Wintour Costume Center and the Met Cloisters uptown.

The guest list, as you can imagine is a vast one and if there is one celebrity we're looking forward to spotting on the Met's red carpet, it's Priyanka Chopra! Celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, we bet the event will be one that will go down in the history of fashion. Stay tuned for all the looks from the Met Gala 2018!
