Doechii made her iconic Met Gala debut on Monday as she arrived in a large white box. 

Fans and photographers were left guessing who the mystery guest was as a box was wheeled out of The Mark Hotel and on to the red carpet, with several people also holding umbrellas over the box.

The American rapper, 26, then emerged wearing a bold Louis Vuitton outfit and puffed on a cigar while posing for snaps. 

Showcasing her impeccable style, Doechii wore a white Louis Vuitton logo monogrammed jacket and accompanying checkered Bermuda shorts.

She teamed the look with burgundy loafers, knee-high socks and a silk scarf tied in a bow.

Her look was further elevated with Tiffany & Co. jewelry, and completed with a Louis Vuitton stamp on her cheek.

Deemed the Oscars of the East Coast, the Met Gala sees some of the biggest stars descend on the iconic The Metropolitan Museum of Art for the annual charity event.

Teyana Taylor, La La Anthony and Ego Nwodim hosted the Vogue livestream, with Emma Chamberlain tasked with doing interviews on the blue carpet.

This year is also the first Met Gala in more than 20 years to have a menswear theme, with the focus being Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.

This gala is also being hosted by a group of Black male celebrities, including Williams, the musical artist and Louis Vuitton menswear director, and Lewis Hamilton , Colman Domingo, and A$AP Rocky named as co-chairs.

LeBron James, who was named an honorary chair, previously announced that he will miss the gala due to the knee injury he suffered in the Lakers’ season-ending loss to the Timberwolves during Game 5 of their first-round playoff series last Wednesday.

As this year’s honorary chair, the NBA ‘s all-time leading scorer shared that his wife, Savannah James, will attend in his place.

‘Unfortunately because of my knee injury I sustained at the end of the season I won’t be able to attend the Met Gala in NY tonight as so many people have been asking and congratulating me on!’ James, 40, wrote on X, just hours before the Met Gala red carpet event.

They’re joined by Vogue’s Anna Wintour, the mastermind behind the gala, considered the year’s biggest and starriest party.

Fans went wild over the box arrival on social media 

While the co-chairs were already announced, the leaked list has only fueled the hype.

The A-list lineup is packed with stars like Rihanna, Sydney Sweeney, Hailey Bieber, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Cynthia Erivo.

Bad Bunny, Donatella Versace, Vera Wang, Usher, Kerry Washington, Jeremy Allen White, and Suki Waterhouse are also on the guest list.

It’s shaping up to be a night packed with Hollywood’s biggest names – though some fans were surprised to see a few notable absences.

The gala raises the bulk of the curation budget for the museum´s Costume Institute.

This year, it’s about tailoring and suiting as interpreted through the history and meaning of Black dandyism across the Atlantic diaspora.

The theme is inspired by the annual spring exhibition, which this year is based in large part on Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, a book written by Monica L. Miller. She is guest curator of the exhibit.

‘Historical manifestations of dandyism range from absolute precision in dress and tailoring to flamboyance and fabulousness in dress and style,’ Miller writes in the exhibit catalog.

‘Whether a dandy is subtle or spectacular, we recognize and respect the deliberateness of the dress, the self-conscious display, the reach for tailored perfection, and the sometimes subversive self-expression.’

How the dress code goes, in terms of taste and style, is anyone’s guess. Wintour has a hand in virtually all things gala, so the presumption is things can’t go too far off the rails.

She recently knocked down the rumour that she approves all looks, telling Good Morning America she’ll only weigh in if asked.

Just days before the fundraiser, Sarah Jessica Parker, left fans stunned as she, sadly, confirmed she would not be attending due to a scheduling conflict.

‘I have to work,’ the Sex and The City star told Entertainment Tonight . ‘But there’s going to be so much to see, and I look forward to seeing what everybody does and how they interpret the theme and the homework they did for the assignment. A very joyful assignment.’

While speaking about fashion’s biggest night, the Golden Globe winner continued: ‘I care a lot about it and I want to try to honor the work of the curators and everybody who sort of inspired this moment for those of us who get to attend.’

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz are also among the newly released names of celebrities opting to skip the highly exclusive, annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.

On Monday, a source revealed to The Sun that Brooklyn had planned on father David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash instead of the Met Gala.

The couple, however, were noticeably no-shows at David’s London celebration on Saturday, with the reason behind their fallout revealed here by Mail+.
