They dazzled us with their Met Gala looks - and Lorde and Taika Waititi's afterparty antics didn't disappoint either.
Lorde retired her stunning headpiece for the night, but her outfit still channelled the vibe of her new album Solar Power.
The Kiwi popstar shone in a leotard flanked by skirtpieces with a nature-inspired pattern. She made the admirably practical choice of wearing fluorescent sneakers over heels.
Her accessories included a US 1 cent coin purse and gold jewellery.
The gala is chaired by none other than Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who hand-selects the guests each year.
This year's Met Gala theme of "In America: A lexicon of fashion" is a two-part exhibition to be presented over the course of 2021 and 2022 in two areas of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Part one, "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion", will open in the Anna Wintour Costume Centre on September 18, and will remain on display when "In America: An Anthology of Fashion," opens on May 5 next year, in the period rooms of the American Wing.
Andrew Bolton, the Wendy Yu curator in charge of the Costume Institute told Vogue he settled on the theme for two reasons: "The main one was the fact that the American fashion community has been supporting us for 75 years, really since the beginning of the Costume Institute, so I wanted to acknowledge its support, and also to celebrate and reflect upon American fashion".
