Gigi Hadid turned heads at the Met Gala with yet another remarkable choice.

Second year in a row, Hadid opted for an embellished gown with hotfix crystals, patchwork flames and floral embroidery.

Her Custom Miu Miu dress was paired with Jessica McCormack Asymmetric Emerald Diamond Hoop Earrings and a 5.01ct Heart-Shaped Diamond Button Back Ring.

Speaking about her choice for the night, Hadid explained days before the Met, “the patchwork really wasn’t sitting on my body the way that I anticipated from the sketch,” she explains.

“I think the most special moments come when you have to rush it a little bit,” Hadid says.

“I love how the body and the skin spoke through the material,” she said.

“We all sat in a hotel room two days ago, literally, and Scotch taped the patches onto me in a way that felt celebratory,” she says. “It’s built on the body. The body is the canvas.”
