Vogue just announced that everyone’s favorite red carpet walker Rihanna (omg) will co-host the 2018 Met Gala in May. She will be hosting alongside the one and only Donatella Versace and Amal Clooney (she’s a lawyer married to George Clooney).
Wow, I need an invite.
If you don’t know too much about the origins of the Met Gala, also known as the Met Ball, I can help you out. The Gala is an annual fundraising event for Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. This event is known as one of the most exclusive events in A-lister land, AND it’s for a great cause. Each year’s Met Gala has a unique theme and next year’s will be “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” Now, this could be a complete disaster or…………. Interesting.
To celebrate my excitement here’s a few of my favorite Met Gala looks:

Lucy Liu in 2007, Poiret: King of Fashion.
