The annual Met Gala has long been considered the Oscars of fashion, this year's red carpet followed their most controversial theme to date, Heavenly Bodies: Fashion And The Catholic Imagination. Many of our favourite style stars rose to the occasion donning halo inspired headgear, literal crosses and even Joan of Arc inspired looks. Here's our summary of our favourites and the downright questionable looks of the night.

Let's be real, this is probably just regular Tuesday night garb for all three of them.
