Rihanna stole the show at the Met Gala, turning heads by channelling the Pope for her red carpet outfit.
This year’s event had a religious theme and the Umbrella singer made the most of the dress code, wearing a diamond-encrusted papal-inspired outfit complete with a mitre-style hat.
Rihanna was joined on the red carpet by her co-chair for the evening, Amal Clooney, who arrived with her husband, George.
Amal, a human rights lawyer, wore a rose-patterned skirt and trousers designed by British designer Richard Quinn.
Kim Kardashian-West attended the event, in New York City, alone, as her rapper husband Kanye West was nowhere to be seen.
She wore a figure-hugging gold dress by Versace.
In a nod to the theme of the night, the dress was embroidered with crosses on the hips and torso.
One of the more head-turning outfits of the night belonged to Katy Perry, who walked the red carpet wearing a giant pair of angel wings.
The bizarre feathered accessories were so big that Perry was seen knocking someone over when she walked past them.
The wings were teamed with a gold Versace gown with matching thigh-high boots.
Jennifer Lopez arrived in a Balmain gown complete with a feathered train.
The singer’s dress was emblazoned with a cross.
