The MET Gala Award held on May 8, 2018, had all the American celebrities in grand attendance as they didn’t disappoint in incorporating the theme ‘Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination’ in their glam attires.
A Nigerian lady has bashed the idea calling it unholy and an act of mocking the Catholic church, as she blasts Rihanna for trying to imitate the Pope's attire.
The lady identified on Nneze Richards on Instagram showed her uttermost disgust with what the music icon Rihanna wore to the MET Gala Award.

She wrote: ''Rihanna, I like u a lot… but to wear the pope;s head piece ”papal mitre” is such a disrespect to the Catholic religion. What a disgrace. Mocking religion to create controversy and bring the public’s attention. As if religion is a joke…
I’m so disappointed @metmuseum for allowing a mockery of the Catholic faith. Try using another religion for fashion statement. Something like an Islam theme e.g met Muslim bodies. Of course they wouldn’t dare cause I bet there will be an uproar right away and that your met museum will be a history. But they chose Catholic theme because they won’t make a major fuss about it.
Someone will soon come and say my believe should be in God and not the pope but surely this is deeply offensive and lack of respect.
She’s normally incredible but this is awkward and awfully horrible!!

I feel people are liking it because it is Rihanna. This is NOT OKAY, Catholic iconography is not a fashion trend. Don’t come for my pope.''
