Is Cara Delevingne homaging a confession booth in Dior at the Met Gala?

I was raised Catholic, although I never got confirmed, and I dreaded the confession booth. The few times I confessed, I told the priest some heavily edited lesser sins so it would seem like I was trying. “Bless me father, for I have sinned. It has been three months since my last confession…” Penance was usually a few Hail Marys and Our Fathers, I never did enough to warrant an entire rosary. Cara Delevigne’s Dior last night reminds me of the criss cross pattern on the window to the confession booth. This is humorous high fashion and I adore it. She was there with her friend, fellow British model Adwoa Aboah, and they both rocked very short hair with neon coloring. (Here are the details from their hair stylist.) Cara’s headpiece is by Marianna Harutunian. (hat tip: JJ)
Frances McDormand brought the drama in Valentino, in a crazy headpiece that looked like birds were flying over her head and a giant teal wrap with a huge collar over a yellow green gown. I love how ridiculous and costumey this is. I would say it’s some kind of reference to clerical capes but I don’t know.

Lynda Carter was in Zac Posen, looking like she was some high ranking church official gracing us with her presence. Do you remember the fairytale light up dress Posen did for Claire Danes at the Met Gala in 2016? He puts all his effort into one dress and it really shows. This was marvelous.
