The Met Gala has barely begun, but already, we're seeing what may be some of the evening's most impressive looks. Co-chair Michaela Coel absolutely stunned in a golden Schiaparelli gown. Elsewhere, La La Anthony undeniably gave major goddess in her white gown. A fresher face who we're excited to see make their debut at the event today (May 1) is Ice Spice, who was specially selected as Anna Wintour's guest for the evening.

The 23-year-old worked with designers at Balmain for her gown, which came with a train that looks almost as long as another of the rap diva. It's a relatively simple white piece, with flirtatious, sheer panels of fabric running along either side of her body. The elegant yet statement-making piece feels fitting following the arrival of her "Princess Diana (Remix)" with Nicki Minaj. If anyone deserves the title of the people's princess in 2023, it's obviously Ice Spice – especially in this dress.

Rather than wearing her hair in the famous red curls we've come to love, the "Bikini Bottom" hitmaker opted for a sleek, straight look with side-swept bangs. Fans were quick to notice that she's not carrying a purse in hand for once, as she frequently does in her photos. Instead, she's got a bedazzled camera, perhaps for capturing memories from her first time inside the Met Gala on film to cherish (and hopefully share on Instagram).

After sauntering down the carpet and sitting pretty for plenty of photos, the rising star briefly spoke with La La Anthony. "I'm just so grateful," she gushed of her experience so far. "I was really nervous, like, approaching the carpet. Once I heard everybody screaming, I felt better."
