"... Anna Wintour has sculpted her hair into a bishop’s hat with mousse, a cape made of Martin Luther’s skin, Benedict is here in a modest swimsuit. I want Miley to stick out her tongue and there’s a wafer on it. I want the Royal Baby to roll down the red carpet completely soaked with holy water. But so far it’s just like a rose, some lace, I’m carrying a book!... Jared Leto has dressed as Jesus. We hate him for doing it, but we would also hate him if he hadn’t!
Imagine how gross it would feel to be healed by Jared Leto/Walk on the water and let it bathe you Jared Leto/Ya got holes in your feet because you were walking around barefoot in a parking lot Jared Leto... Bella Hadid looks like she’s going up to heaven to whip God’s horse...."

"Patricia Lockwood (and Her Mom) Talk Jesus, Fashion, and Who Wore It Best at the Met Gala" in New York Magazine.
ADDED:
Tom and Lorenzo flaunted their jadedness:
Everyone was all Hosanna-Heysanna over this look on social media last night, lauding Gucci Jesus for really sticking with the theme of the night. That’s great and all, but he pretty much dresses like this all the time, so it came off slightly less impressive to us.
Lots of pictures of Leto. And comments. E.g., "Isn't that the blouse that Jane Fonda wore in 9 to 5?"

Barf. I'm beginning to understand the miliue that produced Schneiderman and his enablers.
All that reminds me of the kind of elite-class play at religion in the Northern Kingdom that the prophet Amos tears into. "But let justice roll down..."
None of these people would be caught dead in the same room as that short-fingered vulgarian Trump.
The ick factor is off the charts.

Heh, I thought I was the only one who read (or remembered) Spy Magazine!
Do Mohammad next...
Come on, show us how brave and daring you are. Making fun of Christians is passé.
Dress up like Mohammad.
Oh brother. What a bunch of buffoons.
Tom Brady. What a tool.
Another American Idol post??
They all look bizarre and silly but somehow Tom Brady is getting (garnering) the all the wrath.
If being a rich and powerful celebrity also requires acting as a servant of Satan ridiculing all that is Holy and good and loving all that is evil, then they are doubly lost souls on the clock.
What horrible, shallow people. And how come no Muhammads or Hidden Imams, or Buddhas for that matter?
A whirlwind should have swept them all into the harbor.
“Maybe,” they suggested, “your mother might have some thoughts as well, since she’s married to a Catholic priest
They can do that now?
Somewhere, between the High Gothic and the Rococo, the Roman Catholic Church found its way into this fashionable cul de sac.
Dull, dull, dull costumes, but as a freak show it's mildly amusing. Since Catholicism has been a spent force for generations, it's a safe way to appear edgy.
Interesting to see Katy Perry going through her deliberately ugly phase. A year down the line, for her next album, she'll undergo a weight-loss regime, pretty herself up, and that'll get her the People magazine cover calling it a comeback.
Observing the grotesque pageantry of our privileged hyper wealthy celebrity culture is kinda like viewing exotic creatures in an alien zoo. Such bizarre, improbable fauna we have here.
Effie Trinket and Panem fashion show.
What?! No one showed up as the martyred St. Sebastian?
Wimps!
@Infinite Monkeys - there can be married Ronan Catholic priests. I don't know how her situation came about, but in our parish we have had two (actually stilk have one).
Many moons ago there was a break by a group of Episcopalian priests over their objection to approving marriage of gay couples in their churches. The pope - I forget which one - accepted the Episcopalian priests into the Catholic fold (don't know/remember the details but their are restrictions) - and many were married. Voila, married Catholic priests. If their spouse dies, they cannot remarry.
Woke Lefties last week to a 17 year old girl who wore a Chinese-pattern dress to prom: cultural appropriation; my culture is not your fucking prom dress!
Godless degenerate Lefties today: look how pretty we are in our knockoff Christian costumes!
Eh, that's the response the Professor wants to hear and roll her eyes at. I get it. Funny to think about doing this kind of shit with literally ANY other religion, though.
The best part: those silly Xtians are REQUIRED to turn the other cheek--they have to take it & like it. The perfect scam!
Blasphemy Night at the Met just comes across as tired sneering at the grown-ups.
Thorns deliver sporotrichosis, the Prick of Pricks.
This will keep happening until Catholics start blowing up fashion houses.
Guess there are limits to condemning cultural appropriation. Not that the Catholic Church would mind. The Church has always been a fan of borrowing and/or totally ripping off good stuff from other cultures. It's called progress and the march of civilization.
Never enough proms for these people.
What did Jesus, I mean Jared, do with his lapel tigers in the T and L post?
I hate the Met ball and the fuss around it. Ugh. It's everything that is the worst of us.
The gays that I'm friends with on Instagram thought the whole thing was incredibly tacky.
"Can the Met Gala go fuck itself?" was one funny comment.
If you've lost the NYC gays...
I would have worn my bishop's outfit, if they'd provided me with some willing altar boys. Heigh-yo!
Next year they can do The Wahhabi Imagination.
They were not celebrating the artistic side of Cathoicism, which is what the exhibit was about, but making fun of Catholics and their culture.
but then, they don't believe in that stuff anymore (even the Cardinal who joined them didn't protest at the ridicule of Jesus, which says more about the Cardinal's lack of belief).
as for all of your commenters who laugh and make pedophile jokes: Well, three priests were killed by drug gangs in Mexico recently, and here in the Philippines, a priest who defended the locals from a mining company who was trying to steal their land just got shot while saying mass.
Nothing new about these things, of course: we had 35 missionaries killed during my stint in Africa 35 years ago, five of them priests and a bishop.
so go ahead and laugh, but excuse me if I just say a short "hail Mary" for your hard hearts.
The ladies who were offended by this ex-Catholic's silly little priestly pedophilia joke should avoid at all costs South Park's "Red Hot Catholic Love" episode.
