Kate Upton steps out as bedazzled nun at New York Met Gala

HOUSTON – Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander’s wife, supermodel Kate Upton channeled the look of a nun -- a bedazzled one -- at the 2018 Met Gala in New York Monday night.

The look was a glam take on this year's theme: "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination." The event is a benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.
