The 2021 Met Gala red carpet is underway, delivering a tonne of EPIC celebrity fashion in the process. But we really need to take a second to talk about Billie Eilish's dress. At the previous night's VMAs, the singer debuted a new look in the form of a black floral number - a notable departure from her go-to red carpet 'fit of printed, relaxed co-ords. Now, Billie's just gone and dialled things up another thousand notches or so with a whopping princess dress and I am lost for words.
Designed by Oscar de la Renta, Eilish's dress choice is a stylish nod to year's Met Gala theme - In America: A Lexicon of Fashion. Now, if you haven't already seen it, you might want to take a seat because it's truly phenom. Consider yourself warned...
TA-DA!
What. A. Dress.
I am soooooo obsessed with this whole look:
The skirt takes up a whole flight of stairs (!!)
Everyone's clicking on...
Billie looks absolutely radiant <33
From the voluminous train to the glam makeup - Billie is essentially serving major Marilyn Monroe vibes. In fact, her dress is reportedly inspired by Monroe's 1951 Oscars dress, according to Vogue.
Of course, Twitter absolutely lost it when Billie stepped out on the red carpet (to be honest, same) - here are our favourite reactions:
"BILLIE FUCKING EILISH. Her first Met Gala and she did not come to play. #MetGala"
"BILLIE UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT COME ON CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD #MetGala"
"BILLIE EILISH LOOKS LIKE A PRINCESS #MetGala"
"not now billie eilish just arrived at the met gala"
"the old hollywood vibes this is giving … i’m in love #MetGala"
Safe to say, Billie's 2021 Met Gala look has been widely accepted as one HELLUVA success.
