The occasion? The Met Gala, of course \u2014 New York&#8217;s most anticipated costume ball, which each year launches The Costume Institute&#8217;s blockbuster exhibition. This year&#8217;s show is &#8220;Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination&#8221;. The exhibit consists of select medieval artworks from The Met collection presented alongside an array of garments by modern and contemporary designers to explore fashion&#8217;s enduring fascination with the visual cues of Catholicism.<br \/>\nThe 2018 Gala saw some of the world&#8217;s biggest cultural icons don suitably enormous, eye-popping outfits \u2014 the magnificent embellishment on display rivalling that of art history&#8217;s most excellently adorned protagonists. Presuming that many would be turning to painting to inspire their ensembles, we asked one of our favourite Instagram accounts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/artgarments\/\">@artgarments<\/a>, to spot the citations behind the costumes. Run by an anonymous New York duo, @artgarments devote themselves to celebrating painting&#8217;s unsung fashion details, from resplendent ruffs to embroidered velvet cuffs. Here, they employ their unparalleled eye for fashion in art to unearth the likely works behind Lana del Rey&#8217;s curious hand-held eye mask, Janelle Monae&#8217;s glimmering halo, Anna Wintour&#8217;s diamond encrusted rosary and more.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;Saints \u2014 Lana del Rey in Gucci and Saint Lucia by Francesco del Cossa, painted in 1470 and housed in the National Gallery, DC.&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-65140\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/19F1BAD2-4C92-4530-A227-DC86B58790C9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2048\" \/> L: Detail of &#8220;Saint Lucia&#8221; by Francesco del Cossa, 1470; R: Via @clarice.wow<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;Jewelled Crosses \u2014 Anna Wintour\u2019s cross echoes the one in Anthony van Dyck\u2019s portrait of Maria de Tassis, painted in 1630.
