Camila Cabello caught everyone’s attention at the Met Gala with her unique ice clutch. The event took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 6, where the 2024 Met Gala showcased some unforgettable looks. Her choice of accessory was especially unusual and came with a unique story.
Camila Cabello explained her unique accessory choice to Extra, saying, “I feel like it is impermanence and things decaying over time and the beauty in that.”
True to its theme, the ice clutch didn’t last the night. The former Fifth Harmony star revealed that the purse had transformed during the event. “It was a purse,” she said, “but then it broke about 5 minutes into being in line, so I called my stylist like, ‘What do I do?’”
With some quick thinking, Cabello decided to hold the remaining piece like a clutch and remarked, “We’re just trying things here.”
The clutch wasn’t just a block of ice. Designed by Jane Wade, it also featured a copper rose, echoing the single flower on the gala’s invitations, tying into the overall theme beautifully.
Cabello’s outfit included more nods to the theme of “beauty in decay.” Her stunning gown, designed by Ludovic de Saint Sernin, weighed 15 pounds and was adorned with 250,000 Swarovski crystals. The dress had intentional rips at the bottom, linking back to her theme of impermanence. To complete her look, she wore iridescent makeup and styled her hair in a “wet” ponytail.
The “Señorita”singer had the gala’s “Garden of Time” theme in mind when assembling her outfit, but she was also inspired by something else — her upcoming album, C,XOXO, set to release on June 28.
“It’s Miami-themed,” she shared with Variety, “so we’re dripping, we’re wet.” This statement not only ties back to her album’s theme, but also cleverly connects with her look and the gala’s overall ambiance.
Fans were quick to react to Camila Cabello’s unique ice purse, noticing that it was actually made from real ice as droplets visibly fell from it. Many initially mistook it for glass until they saw the melting. Concerned comments also emerged, with fans asking about the comfort of her hand, wondering, “Is your hand doing okay?” and even humorously questioning, “How did your hand not fall off?” One fan expressed admiration, exclaiming, “You are incredible! How could you even hold the ice for such a long time?”
The 2024 Met Gala featured the theme “The Garden of Time,” inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 story. Celebrities wore outfits that highlighted the brief and changing nature of beauty and time. Check out more outfits here.

In a light-hearted moment, Lopez jokingly mentioned not wanting her manager Benny Medina to know about her thoughts, saying, “Don’t tell Benny that that’s what I’m thinking — this might be my last album ever.”
Reflecting on her previous album, “This Is Me… Then,” released 22 years ago during her relationship with Ben Affleck, Lopez acknowledged the evolution of her personal and professional life since then. Despite the possibility of this being her final album, she remains open to new opportunities, emphasizing that while she would “never say never,” she put her heart and soul into this project and feels fulfilled. For Lopez, “This Is Me… Now” symbolizes the end of one era and the beginning of another.
The star had a minimal makeup look.
Dressed elegantly in all-black with gold hoop earrings, Lopez looked stunning as she shared insights about her latest projects. However, her appearance sparked mixed reactions. Some viewers found her look “unrecognizable” and “different” from her usual glamorous style.
Comments on social media platforms reflected a mix of opinions on Jennifer Lopez’s recent interview appearance.

Fans flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts. «I feel like she did her own makeup… Like she didn’t even put on lashes, or at least mascara…like she tried it!».
«Now understand when my grandma told me once, literally one day you wake up and you start looking your age. Her day got here,» commented one. «This is why celebrities need to stop using filters.

Lopez also shared that her recent reunion with her husband, Ben Affleck, inspired her to return to songwriting. She mentioned that music tends to flow more when she’s happy and in love.
