Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X didn't just bring one iconic look to the gala – but three!

In the 'Industry Baby' singer's first-ever MET appearance he donned an embroidered cape in a very regal fashion.

Nas then shed the cloak to reveal golden armour underneath, which he soon slipped out of, uncovering a slinky embellished bodysuit.

The entire look was Versace and the 22-year-old star got everyone talking with his red carpet disrobing.

"It was an honor to wear this dress."

Gigi Hadid

Gigi returned to the famed event in a lavish Prada number!

When talking about the sleek look to Vogue, the new mum said: "Maybe we're giving a little nod to 50s, 60s glamour.

"We wanted to showcase something that could be really simple yet regal."

The supermodel also revealed that the dress was an ode to first ladies who have carried America.

Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello

Camila Cabello had her first MET experience with beau, Shawn Mendes.

The musical duo walked the carpet together, with Shawn, 23, donning a black leather blazer and suspenders and Camila, 24, gracing the event in an electric purple two-piece.

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian's look had everyone talking!

The head-to-toe Balenciaga jumpsuit instantly sparked memes online as the look was compared to 'dementors' from the Harry Potter franchise.

Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner has been a MET Gala staple since she splashed onto the fashion scene in her teens.

Her slinky, sheer and bejewelled number was a modern take on Audrey Hepburn from the classic flick, My Fair Lady.

When speaking to Vogue, the supermodel spilt the tea on her inspiration: "We really wanted to take a special moment of her's [Audrey Hepburn] and make it our own."

Hailee Steinfeld

Hailee Steinfeld is somewhat of a MET Gala prodigy since she's been gracing the exclusive event since the age of 13 – no big deal!

The Dickinson star looked unrecognisable as she debuted a blunt blonde bob – fans had to do a double-take as Hailee looked so strikingly different to usual – she'd even bleached her brows!

This year's MET was a more intimate affair compared to the galas that came before it the event has only just returned since its 2019 instalment.

These celebrities sure did smash the In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion theme this year!
