Despite this year’s Catholic theme, many Met Gala attendees showed up on Monday’s red carpet in the usual parade of high-slit, plunging, and dangerously sheer designer dresses — but not “Black Panther” breakout star Letitia Wright, whose custom Coach look was equal parts conservative and dress code-appropriate.

“Letitia is a very religious person, so we wanted to stay true to who she is while also having fun with fashion,” Wright’s stylist, Ade Samuel, told Page Six Monday. “She decided she wanted to do an Ethiopian interpretation of Christianity. If you look closely at her dress, you’ll see the golden cloth and embroidery that was inspired by Ethiopian pastors’ clothing. We even decided to go with a traditional Ethiopian hairstyle, to keep the African theme going!”

Wright, 24, has always been vocal about her faith. “Everybody has their thing that they’re truthful about,” the actress told Vanity Fair in February. “My thing is just a love of God.” She reportedly first embraced Christianity while attending London’s Identity School of Acting, whose alumni include “Stars Wars” favorite John Boyega — Wright’s friend and her date to the gala. (“They’re just friends,” Samuel insisted.)

From start to finish, Wright’s outfit took the Coach team about six months to make. “We had a team of five girls hand-beading and hand-stitching every bit of it,” Samuel said, adding that she chose Forevermark diamonds that complemented the gown’s golden tones without competing.

The final look? A fit-for-royalty dress that not only nodded to the Met’s religious theme, but also Wright’s “Black Panther” alter ego, teen tech genius Shuri. “She’s a Wakandan princess, after all!” Samuel said.
