Imagine being so beautiful that you don't even need a wig!

This year’s Met Gala event, whose theme was Heavenly bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, has been dubbed the most controversial one yet.

The event put Designers to test and celebrities who followed the theme showcased their best imagination of the theme. Some of the celebrities who stood out were Rihanna who wore a Papal inspired outfit and Singer cum Actor Jared Leto who channeled his inner Jesus. Others who brought their A game were Actress, Zendaya and Mr. Wakanda himself, Chadwick Boseman.

The Met Gala is an annual benefit event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, that attracts A-list celebrities.

While everyone else showcased their what has been termed by a section of some Catholics “Blasphemous outfits”, up-coming Sudanese-Australian top model, Adut Aketch who by the way was born in Kenya’s Kakuma Refugee Camp decided to head to the Met rocking simple cornrows and honestly, she’s our winner.
