The dress was tied with an oversized bow on the shoulder as she walked down the famous stairs outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the heart of New York’s Fifth Avenue for the style-packed annual party.
The theme was Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons, focusing on the avant-garde designer’s technique with silhouettes, draping and cuts.
