The Met Gala was fraught full of both literal and metaphorical clergymen (and women) in what many are calling the most exciting Met Gala in years. Stars like Cardi B [3], Madonna, Kerry Washington [4], SZA [5] and, of course, her high holiness Rihanna, showed up and turned out some divine costumes for the event, for which the theme was "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination." Yeah, The Met isn't known to play it safe.
While plenty of head pieces, face jewelry [6], and crosses were had, one trend we noticed on the carpet was the abundance of press-on nails. Blake Likely's manicure was courtesy of press-ons from Kiss [7], and even Kim Kardashian [8], donning a gold Versace number, had a glued-on manicure [9]. Responding to a photo of Katy Perry taking a good look at her nails, Kim revealed Katy was in charge of getting them to her — from across the country.
Katy actually flew my nails on her plane over to me from LA LOL They are just glued on! So had to show her! https://t.co/PS34k55KUW [10]

"Katy actually flew my nails on her plane over to me from LA LOL They are just glued on! So I had to show her!" tweeted Kim.
Kim's tone is typically playful on her account, so who knows if this story is a joke or not. If true, that manicure is well-traveled and had an interesting travel buddy, to say the least. Created by Tom Bachik, the long, square-shaped French tips makes it feel as if the '90s really are in full swing again.
