This year’s Met Gala saw a full-on return to fabulous with an array of celebrities flocking to the prestigious fashion event in New York to give their interpretation of this year’s Gilded Glamour dresscode.
It was a family affair for the Kardashian-Jenners, who united on the event’s red carpet for the first time ever.
Matriarch Kris Jenner said she was most excited to see “my girls” on the hallowed steps of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and said all five of her daughters looked “amazing”.
The sisters, Kourtney, 43, Kim, 41, Khloe, 37, Kendall, 26, and Kylie, 24, all showcased eye-catching looks.
“I just want to get to the top of the carpet, I don’t care if I have roller-skates on,” Kris told Vogue.
“For me that’s when the fun starts and I get to watch them. All five of them are coming.”
It was Khloe Kardashian’s first ever appearance at the Gala, and the reality star said it was a “scary but fabulous” experience.
“It’s a much shorter carpet than I thought... it’s so scary but it’s fabulous. I’m so excited to be here,” she told Vogue.
“I’m so excited that we’re all here together... Kourt and Trav are right behind us, my mom, and I think Kendall and Kylie just ran in. It’s going to be a fun night.
“I just had to be a part of this experience,” she added.
Her sister Kourtney and her partner Travis Barker, who recently married in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas, said: “We’re just having fun... with all the sisters.”
The pair both wore Thom Browne.
Barker said of his outfit: “I just don’t care, I think it’s how I grew up, punk rock is going against the grain and doing what you want.”
Kendall Jenner wore a custom-made black Prada gown with a sweeping black statement train with a striking bleached brow.
Her sister Kylie donned an off-white wedding dress inspired outfit, complete with a veil attached to a backwards-facing baseball cap.
But it was Kim Kardashian’s look that stole the show, arriving in a historic gown worn by Marilyn Monroe during her 1962 “Happy Birthday” performance to former president John F Kennedy.
Kim reportedly had to prepare for her entrance in a “special dressing room”.
The Kardashian reunion at the Met Gala comes just hours after their victory in a US defamation lawsuit brought against them by ex-reality star and former partner of Rob Kardashian, Blac Chyna.
Elsewhere on the red carpet, Elon Musk also kept it in the family by taking his model mum Mae as his plus one.
It was the first time that the 50-year-old billionaire had been spotted out in public since agreeing a $44 billion deal to buy Twitter last week.
Musk was asked about his plans for the micro-blogging site on the red carpet by TV personality La La Anthony.
He said: “My goal, assuming everything gets done, is to make Twitter as inclusive as possible and to have as broad a swathe of people on Twitter as possible.
“And that it is entertaining and funny and they have as much fun as possible.”
Brave model and actress Cara Delevingne decided to take a literal interpretation of this year’s theme.
The Carnival Row star, 29, initially hit the carpet in a red Dior Haute Couture suit with tails complete with a walking stick.
She then removed the jacket and revealed her naked torso covered in shimmering gold body paint with only nipple covers and a series of gold chains to protect her modesty.
Meanwhile, newly weds Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz also put in an appearance.
The son of David and Victoria Beckham, 23, gave Saturday Night Fever vibes in a white suit and matching shirt which he wore open and gave a glimpse of his chest.
His 29-year-old actress other half meanwhile wowed in a sheer pink number.
Noticaby absent from the festivities was Met Gala regular Rihanna.
The Umbrella hit-maker has been responsible for a number of iconic Met Gala looks over the years, but was forced to skip this year’s as she is currently heavily pregnant with her first child.
