The DictatorFrom Beyoncé to Madonna, everyone is wearing crowns and halos – here’s where to find them
From Lana Del Rey’s winged headpiece to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s halo, this year’s star-studded Met Gala offered up some divine inspiration
I wasn’t so excited about the dresses at this year’s Met Gala, but I loved the halos. I’m about to fly to meet friends at a music festival, and I need one!

The Dictator rules: You monster! You are guaranteed to spear your fellow concertgoers, because that is what happens when you mix dancing with spikes. We saw many a haloed star at the “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” themed 2018 Met Gala. Too bad most of them were custom made.
Blake Lively’s champagne diamond halo came from Lorraine Schwartz, Madonna’s cross-adorned crown was by Rinaldy Yunardi and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore a headpiece designed by Ana Khouri. Lana Del Rey, who walked the red carpet in a Gucci dress, wore a winged headpiece that we don’t expect to see for sale any time soon. However, Gucci does have a spectacular metal sunburst hair comb composed of metal rods and stars with an aged-gold finish (HK$25,900).
The crown Lily Collins wore was custom-made by Lelet NY, which has an entire collection of crowns and halos (about HK$1,319 to HK$3,124). Of course, Beyoncé rocked the look while performing at the 2017 Grammy Awards, pregnant, with a halo by House of Malakai, which takes custom orders but also has ready-to-wear pieces such as the Skater Cap with Crystal Spikes featuring 11 silver-plated spikes with crystal quartz on each tip (HK$4,749).
