Rihanna channels the Pope as she makes her entrance at the Met Gala in ornate beaded outfit complete with miter

She is chairing this year's Met Gala along with Amal Clooney , Donatella Versace and Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

Rihanna did not disappoint as she arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday evening.

The 30-year-old channeled the Pope in an intricately beaded ensemble by Maison Margiela complete with miter and cropped cope.

The Take a Bow hitmaker showed some leg in a strapless minidress with a longer built-in skirt open at the front.

Adding an urban touch Rihanna's cope-style jacket featured slouchy sleeves and slipped down to reveal some sexy shoulder.

Every piece of her look was intricately encrusted with pearls, beads and gemstones.

For footwear, the Bajan beauty wore glittering gunmetal Louboutin heels with pearl straps.

This year's theme is Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.

Over the past 11 years the singer has used the event as an opportunity to showcase her love of fashion and pushing its boundaries.

The annual gala is always tied to an exhibit at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This year it will examine the 'fashion' of ongoing engagement with the devotional practices and traditions of Catholicism.

The exhibition includes works of art, including 50 ecclesiastical masterworks on loan from the Sistine Chapel sacristy at the Vatican.

Those items, which will be viewed in the Anna Wintour Costume Center galleries, include papal vestments and accessories, as rings and tiaras, from the 18th to the early 21st century, the museum said. The items encompass more than 15 papacies.

'Fashion and religion have long been intertwined, mutually inspiring and informing one another,' Andrew Bolton, head curator of the institute, said in a statement.

'Có liên kết bất thường, và nó ra một trong một của những dòng mới nhất inventive và creative creations.

The 150 fashion ensembles come from a slew of designers, including Cristobal Balenciaga, Coco Chanel, John Galliano, Karl Lagerfeld, Givenchy, Christian Lacroix, Thierry Mugler, Raf Simons, Thom Browne and Gianni and Donatella Versace, among many others.

The exhibition, which will run May 10 through October 8, is a collaboration between the Costume Institute and the Department of Medieval Art and The Cloisters.
