The boldest choice of jewelry of the night, however? That would be Lil Nas X He took jewelry to the extreme when he bejeweled himself in 218,784 round flatback Swarovski crystals, layered over silver body paint applied by the legendary Pat McGrath. Given the entire world watches and discusses the annual Met Gala red carpet, attending the star studded event is nerve racking for virtually any celebrity let alone someone attending for the first time. The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey admits to Vogue that they did have pre Met jitters (mixed with excitement, of course). “I was looking forward to meeting up with people I haven’t seen for ages, and seeing a lotta cool clothes,” says Ramsey. “It’s the Met it’s iconic!”
Though the actor had never attended the Met before Monday, they knew they needed a strong fashion look for the occasion. Dressed by Thom Browne, Ramsey wore a double breasted skirted tuxedo, covered in pinstripes and pearls (an homage to the late Karl Lagerfeld, who loved a pearl). Turns out, Browne’s design was an elevated, red carpet ready version of Ramsey’s everyday sleek, tailored style. “I’ve worn Thom Browne a lot for other press and loved it, so it made sense to wear them for my first Met,” says Ramsey. “They designed every part of the outfit, knowing I’d want to wear some version of a suit, and they did an amazing job. I loved working with the cool Thom Browne team and my beautiful stylist and friend, Fabio Immediato.”
