Lana Del Rey and Kim Kardashian were all smiles while posing together on the carpet of the 2024 Met Gala on Monday evening.
The “Diet Mountain Dew” singer, 38, and reality TV star, 43, took a brief pause from climbing up the daunting steps of New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art to grab a photo with each other and chat before heading into the famed affair to mingle.
The unlikely pair even stopped to talk with Vogue hosts La La Anthony on the carpet about their respective looks — a cinched waist John Galliano couture dress for Kim and Alexander McQueen for Lana — as well as the inspiration for the showstopping ensembles.
“I guess it was this idea of mother nature but the slightly more sinister aspects,” Lana told the outlet of her own dress, which was embellished with dark brown branches and a canopy that draped over her head and the top part of the gown.
While she was in a rush to get into the event, the singer — fresh off headlining performances at Coachella — told ET’s Rachel Smith about her own “very architectural” costume, specifically her interesting choice of shoes, which she said were incredibly comfortable.
“That’s why I picked them, they are perfect,” Lana said of her heels, which resembled animal hooves.
The theme for the annual event was “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” which went hand-in-hand with the dress code, “The Garden of Time,” first announced in February. According to the museum, the dress code is inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story of the same title.
For her own part, Kim shocked the crowd by showing up in a silver dress with a sheer bottom half complete with a leaf-like fringe and a metallic bodysuit that cinched her waist tightly. She finished the look with a gray shawl which she wore off one shoulder while walking the carpet.
Earlier in the night, The Kardashians star spoke with Vogue about her jaw-dropping appearance and explained the inspiration for her own outfit.
“This is like — what did we say — [I] had the wildest night of my life in a garden and I just ran out and grabbed my boyfriend’s sweater and threw it on and had to get to work,” she said, laughing. “And my hair is all messed up.”
