Another X user referenced one of Twain's most popular songs, writing "Man, I feel like Cruella De Vil!" below a photo of Twain on the red carpet. Speaking to E! News about her appearance, Twain said she chose a bright red wig because she "needed to have a little bit of a splash of color."
"So, it puts me in a very celebratory spirit, very optimistic mood," she told the outlet. "And I think just coming out of this whole COVID phase makes me feel light and bubbly and happy and fun."
Jared Leto

Academy Award-winning actor Jared Leto took the Met Gala theme in a different direction, when he walked the red carpet dressed as a giant cat. The theme this year was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty to pay homage to designer Karl Lagerfeld, the man behind the modern revival of Chanel.
Leto paid tribute to Lagerfeld in a unique way, choosing to dress up as the designer's beloved cat, Choupette. Lagerfeld adopted the cat in 2011 after he fell in love with her while pet sitting for a friend. Choupette was present on the red carpet, and Lucas Berullier told the New York Post, "It’s an event in honor of the legacy of Karl, and Choupette is obviously a central part of the legacy."
When speaking with "The Morning Mash Up" on SiriusXM Hits 1 in November 2023, Leto said he was thinking about skipping the event for the first time in years. He said he's had so many looks on the Met Gala carpet, he "doesn't want to mess it up" and thinks he "should [go out on top]."

"Maybe I should just let somebody else have the invite. But it's always fun to be invited. It's always an honor to be invited," Leto told the outlet. "It is a benefit at the end of the day. It's great to just go out there and kind of like do something ridiculous."

Prior to the show, Rexha told her followers on TikTok she was nervous to walk the carpet because she was anxious people would be "talking about [her] weight." She said she wasn't "feeling so confident" in her body, but later acknowledged "everybody has these days, and nobody ever feels perfect."
"I’m really not feeling like the bad b---- that I usually am," she admitted. "I do have an outfit. It is cute. And I do wanna wear my dress. And I do really want to go to celebrate my nomination and my friends’ nominations, but I do feel like anxiety gets the best of me."

"Sam was having a lot of hate comments recently after 'Unholy' about [their] body image," Harri told Women's Wear Daily in February 2023. "This is my take on celebrating [their] natural form and the beauty of being one's self. I wanted to create an image which people have never seen Sam in."
The singer, who came out as non-binary in 2019, received backlash for the clothes they wore in their music video for "Unholy." In the video, they wore pearl chains and a cream-colored corset which revealed their nipples. In another scene, they can be seen wearing a showgirl outfit and headdress.
