The reality TV star arrived with newly died peroxide blonde hair, wearing the dress that Marilyn Monroe wore to sing <i>Happy Birthday</i> to US president John F Kennedy in 1962. The dress was made by Jean Louis, and originally sketched by Bob Mackie, in the 1960s. It set a record as the most expensive dress ever sold in 1999, when it was auctioned for $1.26 million. In 2016 it sold again for $4.6 million. Eilish, meanwhile, has been hailed by fans as "understanding the assignment".

The 2022 Met Gala is officially co-chaired by Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds, actress Regina King and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda. Designer Tom Ford, Instagram’s Adam Mosseri, and <i>Vogue</i>’s Anna Wintour are honorary co-chairs.
