This year's Met Gala, with the theme "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination," was heavy on the religious overtones, from Rihanna's beaded masterpiece giving a nod to the pope to Katy Perry's giant wings transforming her into an angel in gold go-go boots. The headpieces, though, were the stars of the night. Sarah Jessica Parker, for example, wore an actual nativity scene on the top of her head. Catherine Garcia
