At last the great day has come! Tonight the creme de la créme of the fashion world will parade down the mythical stairs of the Metropolitan museum in New York with its best finery, yes inspired by a somewhat delicate subject that may be the most controversial in the history of this event of fashion: religion.

As we already told you a few months ago, the theme of the party that aims to raise funds to manage the Met Costume Institute (an impressive fashion archive throughout history) is Thus, the retrospective that will be exhibited at the Met and in the museum The Cloisters of New York until October 8, 2018, focuses on designers who grew up in the Catholic religion and its influence on their work.

From wedding dresses signed by Balenciaga, Azzedine Alaïa or Christian Lacroix to more modern dresses that we have recently seen on the catwalk of Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Rodarte, these garments are full of details and symbolism that cannot be lost if you visit the city of the skyscrapers.

Even the Cardinal of New York City attended the collection's press conference this morning to explain the church's view of this cultural event. "The church and the Catholic imagination essentially deal with 3 things: truth, goodness and beauty […] That is why we are here," he declared.

We are dying to see how the celebrities will interpret the theme, especially our favorite Latinas, like Eiza González who will attend the gala for the first time this year. Will Thalía appear with a blanket?

What is certain is that the looks chosen by celebrities tonight will make people talk for months and will surely make history. Place your bets!
