The 2024 Met Gala officially opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA, amid the anticipation of millions of fans around the world.
The event brought together a series of famous stars such as Jennie (BLACKPINK), Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian...
In addition, the designs amazed the audience because they were so beautiful and impressive, breaking the rules, unique and rebellious.
Camila Cabello gained attention when she was spotted attending the 2024 Met Gala with a block of ice in her hand.
At the Met Gala, the largest celebrity fashion event globally, Camila Cabello sparked interest and admiration among social media users.
The singer was seen carrying a melting block of ice down the green carpet, a unique accessory that intrigued many.
The 27-year-old musician's outfit choice for the event, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 6, has received widespread praise online.
Cabello wore a gold halterneck dress adorned with 250,000 Swarovski crystals. She revealed to E! that the dress took over 450 hours to make and weighed over 15 pounds.
The floor-length dress featured a short train and rips from the knee area down.
Adding to her look, Cabello sported a blonde updo and warm glowing makeup.
However, it was her cool - in more ways than one - clutch that stole the show. The clutch, made of actual ice, held a metallic rose in the middle.
One person said: Cool idea. Definitely on theme, which was rare this year.
A second wrote: But it is the Met Gala…. Why dress to the theme of your new album coming out? That’s not the theme… gah, Met Gala standards are so low.
While a third commented: We have lost our way. Somewhere, Somehow.
Someone else said: This is what we call fashion?? Y’all can’t be serious!!
Another added: The fashion industry is getting out of hand!!! As Camila shakes her hand cuz the ice is too cold
After sparking discussion on social media, Camila Cabello explains why she chose to carry a block of ice on the red carpet.
In an interview with Extra TV, Cabello reflected that she believes the theme of the 2024 Met Gala was "about impermanence and things decaying over time," symbolized by the rips towards the ends of her dress and the melting ice block.
Previously, Cabello and her stylist Jared Ellner collaborated with designer Ludovic de Saint Sernin to interpret the theme - 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion' with the official dress code being 'The Garden of Time'.
In the interview, Cabello revealed that the ice block was originally a purse, but it broke just five minutes into being in line. Undeterred, she decided to carry it as a clutch.
Cabello added to Variety that the look was also a nod to her upcoming album C, XOXO, which is set for release on June 28. "Miami, we're dripping [...] we're icy but we're melting," she said. "I am ice cold."
Additionally, Cabello revealed her ice block was 'literally melting', showing reporters her wet and cold hands.
