No, your eyes do not deceive you. That is a literal block of ice she held as a purse.
Camilla Cabello, known for songs like Havana and Señorita, was one of the many stars who showed up looking fabulous at the 2024 Met Gala. And like many of said stars, Cabello added a detail to her outfit that was right on theme of “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” — there were some references to time.
So how does an ice block fit in? Let Cabello explain, per Extra in the video below: “I feel like it is impermanence and things decaying over time and the beauty in that, so there are sort of rips toward the ends of my dress.”
OK!

Camila Cabello's purse at the Met Gala has a deeper meaning. It's made of ice and feels hot on the carpet. Originally a purse, it turned into a clutch, with only a single rose waiting to be left at the end.
