Nigerian Beauty Queen, Nneze Richards, Calls Out Rihanna For Wearing Pope-Inspired Head Piece For 2018 Met Gala
Many celebs played the harlot with their outfits at the 2018 Met Gala with theme this year — the influence of Catholicism on fashion. Riri was no exception except some felt she had taken it too far. The Barbadian superstar stuck to the Heavenly Bodies theme in a heavily embellished custom-made John Galliano gown complete with crosses and a papal inspired headdress. It drew a lot of criticism across the globe from Catholics and amongst those, a Nigerian beauty queen. Nneze Richards called Rihanna out on social media for wearing the pope-inspired head piece. She wrote:
“Rihanna, i like u..a lot but to wear the pope’s head piece “Papal Mitre” is such a disrespect to the catholic religion.
What a disgrace!
Mocking religion to create controversy and bring the public’s attention.
As if religion is a joke…
I’m so disappointed at the Met museum for allowing a mockery of the catholic faith.
Try using another religion for a fashion statement. Of course they wouldn’t dare cause I bet there will be an uproar right away but they chose catholic theme because they won’t make a major fuss about it.
Someone will soon come and say my believe should be in God and not the pope but surely this is deeply offensive and lack of respect.
She’s normally incredible but this is awkward and awfully horrible‼
I feel pple are liking it because it’s Rihanna.
This is NOT OKAY, catholic iconography is not a fashion trend. Don’t come for my pope.”
