Fashion's biggest night has begun as the Met Gala has rolled out the crimson and cream carpet outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Although the actual event isn't televised and has a strict no media policy, plenty of photographers have descended on the carpet ahead of The Met's Costume Institute Benefit, snapping fashion's elite and Hollywood's A-listers.

This year's theme, "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination," has our favorite designers, interpreting how Catholicism has influenced fashion throughout the ages.

Rihanna, one of this year's co-hosts, sported a pearl and crystal Maison Margiela gown inspired by a papal robe on the carpet.

And one of this year's co-chairs, Amal Clooney, kicked off the carpet, walking it with her husband, George Clooney. Amal Clooney, 40, sported a navy blue pant, foil bustier complete with a dramatic floral train designed by Richard Quinn, who was recently awarded the coveted Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design.

Singer Rita Ora turned heads on the carpet, wearing a floor-length sheer Prada gown. She also told Vogue magazine why she picked the designer, saying "everything is understated but very meaningful." Still, the best part of her look was a dramatic headdress, which she said her hairdresser created in three days.

Former Disney star Zendaya served a silver look on the carpet, sporting a wavy burnt orange bob. Her Versace chain mail dress seemed inspired by Joan of Arc with armor details, complete with a train.

Kim Kardashian walked the carpet, sans husband Kanye West like in years prior, in a golden Versace bodice floor-length gown, featuring cross details.
