Five ladies who attended the 2018 Met Gala in red were also amazingly all head-dressed! It’s either a sartorial coincidence, or they all got such a boost of confidence from the fiery color that they decided to go even bigger and bolder with their looks.

Starting off our list is Blake Lively, who was arguably the best-dressed at the 2018 Met Gala in an Atelier Versace ruby-red-and-gold gown featuring a jewel-encrusted bodice and a long train.
So it was fitting that she wore a Lorraine Schwartz gold-and-diamond halo and accessorized with over $2 million worth of the jeweler’s pieces.
Custom Christian Louboutin embellished platform sandals and monsieur Christian Louboutin himself as a date completed Blake’s winning look.

Anne Hathaway was no saint in a ragged version of a halo formed with gold spikes pierced through her updo. The rest of Anne’s badly behaved angel ensemble consisted of a Valentino Spring 2018 Couture ruffled halted ball gown and Jimmy Choo heels.

Last, but not least, Priyanka Chopra was elegant in a burgundy velvet column gown from the Ralph Lauren Collection with a long train.

Ruby Rose Delivers Androgynous Edge in Priest-Inspired Tommy Hilfiger Gown and Gold Crucifix Details

Although Ruby did not wear anything on her head, she did have gold crucifix jewelry dangling from her eyebrows that we found to be just as interesting as a headpiece.
