Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban arrive at the Met

Nicole Kidman trailed her way to the iconic Met museum steps in an elaborate pale white gown, assisted by her husband Keith Urban. Nicole Kidman's gown featured a fitted sheer bodice with vertical glitter work trailing into a high-low hem. The trailing shoulders and extensively feathered train added a regal touch to the look. Keith Urban was seen dressed in a vintage-style coat with a slight train. 

Co-chair Dua Lipa arrives at the Met

Dua Lipa arrived looking grand in a tweed ballgown with a corset-shaped bodice. Met Gala co-chair Dua Lipa wore a Tiffany diamond around her neck that she called “very special” and that she hoped shimmered for the night. The singer’s cream-coloured dress with subtle black bordering - the perfect ode to Karl Lagerfeld, by Chanel from 1992, was also “very, very special”. She admitted it has been on her mood boards ever since Claudia Schiffer wore the gown on the runway for its debut, although hers had a matching hat.
