Met Gala, known for its daring fashion statements, witnessed a unique display this year by Camila Cabello. Amidst the avant-garde ensembles that graced the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, Cabello’s standout piece was an ice purse.

This wasn’t your typical high-end accessory; it was a real block of ice fashioned into a purse, a truly one-of-a-kind creation.The “I Luv It” and “Havana” singer turned heads as she strutted up the museum’s green stairs, clutching a melting chunk of ice containing a single copper rose.

According to Vogue, the flower resembled the one designed by Jane Wade for the Met Gala invitation.In an interview with Extra, the 27-year-old songstress revealed that her unconventional clutch was born out of necessity.

Originally intended to be a traditional purse, complete with straps, it had broken, prompting Cabello to improvise. However, far from being a mere makeshift solution, her ice purse symbolically represented the evening’s themes.Latinos at the 2024 Met Gala: Shakira, Karol G, Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, and moreBreaking down Cardi B’s head-to-toe 2024 Met Gala lookAfterparty looks at the 2024 Met Gala: Shakira, Kendall Jenner, Bad Bunny Zendaya, and moreCabello’s interpretation of the dress code, “The Garden of Time,” and the theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” was evident in her choice of accessory.
