Consider Billie Eilish a Gen-Z take on the classic Chanel darling. For tonight's Met Gala, Eilish embraced the evening's theme by taking detailing favored by Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel to an exaggerated space, the over-the-top irreverence a playful antidote to the more pared-down approaches to the event inspiration.

For her first-ever Met Gala, Eilish stunned in a peachy nude Oscar de la Renta ballgown, which paid tribute to the black dress that Marilyn Monroe wore to the Oscars in 1951.

The entire cast of "Friends" have never made Met Gala red-carpet appearances. Somehow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Matthew Perry have never attended the event.

A rep for Eilish confirmed to PEOPLE that the couple had called it quits after less than a year. "We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends," the rep said in a statement.
For her part, Eilish previously became the event's youngest co-chair ever in 2021, at just 19 years old, in her Met Gala debut.
Eilish said her brother and mother inspired her to get into music. Their parents encouraged the siblings to express themselves and explore whatever they wanted, including art, dancing, and acting. Eilish also performed at talent shows and joined the Los Angeles Children's Chorus at age eight.
The episode also finds Billie talking about how she's been inspired by Lana Del Rey and Nicki Minaj, with a very funny story about how she discovered Marina and the Diamonds' “Primadonna Girl” via a makeup tutorial she watched while working on a Halloween costume.
What was the Met Gala 2023 theme? The 2023 Met Gala dress code was “in honor of Karl.” The exhibition sees Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institute's Wendy Yu Curator in Charge, examine the work of Karl Lagerfeld (1933–2019).
How much does it cost to attend the Met Gala? Just because you receive an invitation does not mean you don't have to pay to get in. Tickets are more than $52,000 (US$32,000). Many celebrities who attend don't pay for their own ticket.
?????, no. The Met Gala is invitation only, and Anna Wintour is in charge of the guest list…to the point where even if a designer/brand spends the money to buy an entire table, Anna still dictates who they get to invite.
Seemingly due to inflation, the Met Gala saw a major price increase this year. According to Page Six, the cost of an individual ticket jumped from $30,000 to $50,000 for the 2023 event. Despite the hefty price, individuals invited seem to have no hesitation in paying for a ticket.
No under 18s allowed
In 2018, it was revealed that the Met Gala had decreed a new age restriction. This meant that high-profile individuals under the age of 18 were no longer allowed to attend the event.
Why is the Met Gala so secretive? Celebrities who go to the Met Gala are banned from taking any social media photos from inside the event. The rule apparently came into play because as it was, guests were spending too much time on their phones and not being present for the high-brow evening.
ICYMI, Millie Bobby Brown and her new fiancé Jake Bongiov didn't manage to step out for what would have been the actor's very first Met Gala, which is v sad. But (!!!) we'll chalk it up to the fact that they're probs both just celebrating being newly engaged, über successful celebs, lol.
As one of this year's Met Gala co-chairs, Michaela Coel took her unwritten duty to throw a sensational after-party very seriously. And, yes, everyone will still be talking about it until next May rolls around because this was one for the books.
While the gala might be a charity event, and primarily about raising funds, that doesn't mean just anyone gets to attend. Since 1995, the guest list has been carefully presided over byVogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and this year is no different.
Many people previously speculated about whether Billie Eilish and Justin Bieber were romantically involved, due to their super close friendship. However, the pair have never been more than good friends, with Justin, who is married to Hailey Baldwin, taking the young star under his wing during her musical endeavours.
