Discussing "her and baby's look," Karlie revealed that Jonathan Anderson, the creative director for Loewe, was behind the look, a figure-hugging, long sleeve black gown with a subtle mermaid train, and a trompe l'oeil effect – a signature of the designer – emulating gold chains, which were layered under pearl chains draped from her neck and hips, reminiscent of many Chanel ensembles.

Famously on the first Monday in May, the first Met Gala was in 1948, and each year it intends to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, which was its own entity from 1937 until it merged with The Met in 1946. In 2014, it reopened as the Anna Wintour Costume Center with the exhibition Charles James: Beyond Fashion. The Vogue editor-in-chief has been co-chair since 1995, and Andrew Bolton is the head curator of the institute. Alongside Wintour, this year's co-chairs are Penélope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel and Roger Federer.
