The Costume Institute Gala at Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is surely the most prestigious fashion event of the year. It takes the place on the first Monday in May, which this year fell on May 7. No doubt that I love The First Monday in May movie, where you can go backstage at this incredible event and meet not only Anna Wintour, but incredible celebrity outfits and stunning museum decorations, as well. Every event is connected with specific exhibition theme so celebrities have special dress codes. This year's exhibition theme was Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination and I was really amazed.
The exhibition features items such as Pope Benedict XV's white silk cape embroidered with gold thread or the pointed bishop's hat of Pope Leo XIII, and they are directly displayed with pieces by Coco Chanel who was inspired by nuns; Cristobal Balenciaga or Joh Galliano. I can not wait to see it! (more info about exhibition here; do not look here, your wallet will cry).
