“I knew it wasn’t going to blend in too much, and I don’t really like to blend in,” the Hot 100 chart-topper says on the red carpet.

Doja Cat was dripping in style on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet, as she hit fashion‘s biggest night in a drenched floor-length T-shirt dress.
The Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper kept the wet look going with her makeup, with sparkly black mascara dripping artfully down her cheeks as if she’d soaked the dress in her own tears. Doja posed on the sprawling Met red carpet with one arm across her chest and one arm strategically pulling up the skirt of her dress, as the water rendered the dress transparent.
Before Doja Cat was photographed on the red carpet, she was spotted exiting the Mark Hotel wearing a towel wrapped around her head and body with strappy heels and a diamond necklace. But when she arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, her wet look was fully realized, including her tear-soaked makeup. (You can see makeup artist Pat McGrath’s magic come to life here.)
The T-shirt dress was designed by VETEMENTS creative director Guram Gvasalia, with whom Doja walked the red carpet on Monday.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, Doja explained how her look fit into the night’s “The Garden of Time” theme.
“I know that people are going to do flowers, but my flower of choice is the most-used flower — and it’s cotton,” she said. “I wanted to do a white T-shirt, also because a white T-shirt is timeless. And it felt very poetic to choose this. I knew it wasn’t going to blend in too much, and I don’t really like to blend in.”
