'Don't know how to feel': Cara Delevingne leaves fans perplexed as her bejeweled chainmail Met Gala look draws comparisons to disco ball

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Cara Delevingne is known for her distinctive and daring Met Gala appearances and it appears 2024 is no different as she made a head-turning impression on the green and sandy carpet wearing an unusual hooded outfit.

The 'American Horror Story: Delicate' actress was spotted at the fancy event sporting a hood that looked like chainmail and terminated just below her chest, revealing her abdomen tattoos and toned abs, per OK! Magazine.

Wearing a crystal-covered hooded top akin to armor, the 31-year-old model and actress made her way to this year's gala — themed 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.'

Cara accessorized her train-decorated white column skirt with a stack of sparkling bangles on each hand to add a little additional sparkle to her midriff-baring Stella McCartney ensemble.

Cara trusted Pat McGrath Labs makeup artist Rachel Goodwin with her event makeup. Goodwin merely applied long lashes and a winged liner to create drama and define Cara's eyes, keeping the look delicate and dreamy.

Goodwin described Cara's look as "Joan Of Arc-meets-Twiggy." "On her eyes, I layered the Perma Precision Liquid Liner with false lashes and added a sheer layer of soft white shimmer across her lids and brow bones," Goodwin added, per Vogue.

Goodwin applied clear Swarovski crystals to the inner and outer corners of her eyes to offset the rhinestone chainmail of her Stella McCartney hooded piece.

Goodwin applied fake freckles and tinted Cara's lips and cheeks with a pale petal pink color using the Pat McGrath Divine Cream Blush: Legendary Glow Color Balm in Alluring Nude to keep her skin looking fresh and dewy.

Cara walked the carpet with British celebrities like fashion designer Stella herself, FKA Twigs, and Ed Sheeran, who was attending his first Met Gala.

Cara honored her longtime friend Karl Lagerfeld at the 2023 Met Gala. Lagerfeld served as the inspiration for the year's theme, 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.'

Karl Lagerfeld Couture created the dramatic sleeves and plunging neckline of the 'Paper Towns' actress, who donned a reinterpreted white button-up shirt, a favorite and mainstay of her designer friend, per PEOPLE.

The 'Suicide Squad' actress attended the 2022 Met Gala topless, with her entire body covered in gold paint from her shoulders to her torso.

She wore similar Dior Haute Couture leggings and held a red jacket in her hand. Cara adorned herself with chains that hung down her tummy and gold necklaces.

Cara dazzled at the 2021 gala in white Dior Haute Couture pants and matching breastplate, accessorized with white Dior heels. 'Peg the Patriarchy' was emblazoned on her breastplate.

Fans confused than impressed by Cara Delevingne's 2024 Met Gala look

Met Gala fans were more perplexed than delighted by Cara's unexpected outfit selection with one X (formerly Twitter) user comparing her with a disco Steiner, "Cara Delevingne is Disco Steiner."

Another X user wrote, "Every year Cara Delevingne will find a way to make me mad lollll."

"I still don’t know how to feel about Cara Delevingne’s #MetGala look," wrote a third.

One user compared Cara Delevingne to Maria Thorpe and wrote, "Cara Delevingne as Maria Thorpe. Clearly a fan of history, this outfit replicates the armour worn by thousands of Crusaders, including Altair's future wife Maria Thorpe."

"Cara Delevingne look like she took half her armour off in Dark Souls so she can roll better. #MetGala" remarked another.
