Trailing far behind her was an enormous white train, which dramatically covered the red carpet steps at the Met Gala.
She was joined at the event by the gown’s designer, Prabal Gurung, who helped Camila navigate the treacherous steps.
He went shirtless under a white tux jacket with black pants, and he spiced the look up with a magenta flower on his lapel.
Although it was mostly obscured by her long train, Camila’s gown also featured a high slit to reveal her trim legs.
She elevated her 5ft2in height with a set of white open-toe platform heels.
The brunette beauty wore her dark locks tied up in an elegant bun decorated with purple fabric flowers, and she left strands dangling to frame her elegantly made-up face.
She added some sparkle to the look with an ornate ring and long dangling jeweled earrings.
Prior to arriving at the Met Gala, Camila joked on Instagram that she was ‘not trying to give red wedding today’ after her period tracker app said there was a chance her period might start on Monday.
Arriving earlier in the day was Camila’s ex-boyfriend Shawn Mendes, who represented Tommy Hilfiger with his look.

He wore a two-tone navy overcoat with one sleeve, the lapels and collar in a shade of burgundy.
He paired the coat with a striking charcoal suit jacket with the collar popped to match his overcoat.
Shawn completed the look with black and navy pants. He wore his brown hair swept back with some messy strands up front, and he sported edgy black nail polish.
The Met Gala was wear he and Camila initially made their red-carpet debut back in September of 2021, but the two broke up just two months later in November after dating for two years.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit, also known as the Met Gala, is considered by many as the ‘Super Bowl of celebrity red carpets.’
Fashion’s biggest night is traditionally held the first Monday in May to raise money for the Costume Institute in New York City, with last year’s event moved to September due to the pandemic.
This year’s dress code is ‘gilded glamour’ to match the theme of ‘In America: An Anthology of Fashion,’ a continuation of last year’s ‘In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.’

Tickets for the glitzy event can reportedly cost up to $35,000 apiece, while prices for a table range from $200,000 to $300,000, with last year’s bash raking in a whopping $16.4 million for the Met’s Costume Institute.
Regina King, power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, and Lin-Manuel Miranda are hosting this time, taking over from Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman and Naomi Osaka.
This will be Miranda’s first time as a Met Gala co-chair (and guest) but he was originally intended to co-host the 2020 edition before the pandemic forced its cancellation.
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is once again supervising the benefit as chairwoman, a position she’s held since 1995. Her fellow honorary co-chairs are designer Tom Ford and Instagram head Adam Mosseri.
As usual, the sartorial theme comes from the exhibit the gala launches: ‘In America: An Anthology of Fashion,’ which is the second of star curator Andrew Bolton’s two-part show exploring the roots of American style.
This exhibit will showcase some lesser-known designers, and also some top film directors, including Sofia Coppola, Martin Scorsese, host King, and last year’s Oscar winner Chloé Zhao.
