When fashion and Catholicism MET

This year's MET Gala - aka the Superbowl of Fashion - had an unusual and interesting theme. It was "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination." Needless to say, as a Catholic boy raised in a Catholic country, this is borderline blasphemy.  But as they say, fashion shouldn't be taken too seriously, so I won't.

Most of the attendees of the Gala, though, took the theme very seriously. So, there were a lot of Catholic Church influences in their garbs. From as simple as carrying or wearing rosaries, to having religious images printed on their gowns, to Rihanna wearing a Papal Hat, it was one over-the-top look after the other.

One that caught my eye the most was Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's interpretation of the theme.

It was an ethereal gold dress with a halo headpiece. Looking at it reminded me of all those life-size saints that were paraded around Bicol during the Holy Week season.

Heck, maybe we can invite her to the Philippines next Holy Week and parade her on top of a carroza. That would be fashionably Catholic.
