The gala’s theme was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.”
Pro athletes are always striving to stand out for their performances in a good way.
For New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, the 2018 Met Gala was just not one of those moments.
The Met Gala is an annual fundraising event that benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. It marks the grand opening of the institute’s yearly fashion exhibit, and guests are expected to dress according to a specific theme.
This year's theme was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.”
