- Celebrities gathered in New York City on Monday for the 2023 Met Gala.
- Jessica Chastain and Florence Pugh debuted drastic hairstyle changes on the red carpet.
- Jared Leto wore a full cat suit, and Doja Cat wore prosthetics for her cat-inspired look.
Jared Leto dressed as Karl Lagerfeld's cat, Choupette, in a giant cat suit.
To honor Karl Lagerfeld, who inspired this year's Met Gala theme — "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" — the actor dressed as Lagerfeld's beloved cat, Choupette.
It wasn't clear who was in the cat suit until Leto removed its head.
Leto later changed into a black outfit worn under a black cape with silver embellishments at the collar, but he took the cat head with him.
Doja Cat wore prosthetics on her face to appear more cat-like in her own tribute to Choupette.
Doja Cat's Oscar de la Renta dress featured a hood with cat ears to complete the look.
Fully committed to the part, Doja Cat responded to questions during red-carpet interviews by meowing.
In another cat-inspired look, Lil Nas X walked the red carpet covered in silver sparkles and gems from head to toe.
Makeup artist Pat McGrath created the dramatic look. The rapper also wore a silver Dior thong and matching silver platform boots.
Lil Nas X also committed to his feline look by responding with meows during red-carpet interviews.
Jessica Chastain traded her signature red hair for a platinum-blonde color.
Chastain wore a strapless Gucci gown featuring a sweetheart neckline and ruffled skirt. Large sunglasses made her even more unrecognizable.
In another bold hair transformation, Florence Pugh debuted her shaved head on the Met Gala red carpet.
She shaved her head three weeks ago for her role in "We Live in Time," she said during a red-carpet interview, Harper's Bazaar reported.
Pugh wore a white Valentino gown with a front cutout held together with a black bow, and she paired the dress with a black feathered headpiece. She thought her shaved head was the "perfect" final touch, she added in the interview.
Erykah Badu wore a white headpiece that obscured her face.
Badu's fringed white cape, designed by Marni, included Chanel-style beads, according to the Los Angeles Times.
