Met Gala 2018 Theme: How Brits Amal Clooney And Princess Beatrice Interpreted The ‘Catholic Imagination’

From golden halos to embellished bodices, Amal Clooney, Princess Beatrice and Emilia Clarke flew the flag for the Brits at the 2018 Met Gala.

They payed homage to the theme:  ‘Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination’ by playing to either their angelic or devilish side.

Princess Beatrice of York took a turn as fashion royalty in a regal shade of purple, a colour which the Catholic church associates with royalty. The Queen’s granddaughter’s headpiece walked the line between a halo and a tiara.
