Twitter Has Thoughts About Rihanna at the Met Gala
Another year, another Met Gala for Rihanna to dominate. Tonight's theme, "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination," provided ample fodder for drama-seeking gala-goers, but no one came close to rivaling Rihanna's devotion. The evening's co-host arrived dressed as the Pope, complete with a gem-encrusted Margiela minidress and matching coat, and the jewel of the night's crown-a giant mitre.
Twitter, predictably, had a lot to say:
Before Jesus, there was Rihanna:

Francis probably wasn't even mad:

And Catholic mass jokes, because of course:
