Met Gala: Sabrina Carpenter wears bodysuit
Sabrina Carpenter is giving “espresso” as she wears a stunning pinstripe bodysuit to the Met Gala red carpet.
If making an entrance is a form of art, then last night’s Met Gala had its fair share of virtuosos.
As stars scaled the velveted blue steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, clad in highly tailored gowns and suit combos to honor the history of Black dandyism, a few arrivals stood out, adding an air of pomp to accessorize their already bespoke looks.
From a surprise baby bump to a sleek race-car entrance, these celebrities joined a small but mighty club of stars who have opted to make the famous Met steps not just a runway but a stage.
Damson Idris channels F1
Damson Idris, a British actor who will star in the upcoming summer blockbuster “F1,” channeled his character by pulling up in a Tommy Hilfiger-branded race car.
In a sleek racing suit and blinged-out helmet, Idris then joined the rich tradition of mid-Met Gala outfit changes, standing as two aides ripped off his racing fit to reveal a deep red three-piece suit.
The outfit was a fitting choice for a gala co-chaired by real-life racing and style icon Lewis Hamilton.
Doecchi thinks outside the box
Musically, Doechii thinks outside the box − defying the limits of genre and remaking the boundaries of female rap.
But, for Met Gala Monday, a box fit just right, as the Florida-born singer attempted to avoid the rain and conceal her outfit before arriving.
Once at the steps, the white box fell and Doechii was revealed to be sporting a dapper Louis Vuitton tuxedo top, paired with tailored shorts, a burgundy ascot and an old-money cigar.
Her shoes and calf-length socks matched the silk burgundy higher up in the set, creating a monogrammed, polo-style look.
Rihanna is fashionably late
Rihanna, a Met Gala veteran and one-time chair of the event, arrived late, scaling the steps after Vogue had already cut off its live stream.
The singer surprised fans with a baby bump, cradled by a closely fitted corset, and teased earlier in the night when photographers caught a glimpse of her entering the nearby Mark Hotel.
Rihanna arrived separately from her partner A$AP Rocky, a co-chair of the event.
For Kamala Harris, no entrance is the best entrance
Kamala Harris made her Met Gala debut, but skipped the iconic steps, opting for a photo from her hotel room instead.
In a sleek, black and white gown, with an asymmetrical cut at the top, the former presidential candidate made an entrance without making one, using the fashion fundraiser as part of her tepid return to public life, following a recent speech at the Emerge 20th Anniversary Gala in San Francisco, where she condemned the first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term.
Trump, her former political rival, has not been welcomed to the Met Gala for nearly a decade since Vogue Editor-in-Chief and gala chair Anna Wintour announced in 2017 that he would no longer be invited.
