The shades stayed on for the Meta Gala when designer Vera Wang walked in.

The star fashion icon walked her way up the steps of New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday. She had new hair, a pair of cool shades, and a super sexy gown that showed skin from all angles. The fashion industry mainstay’s baby bangs were one of the biggest surprises of all time for that night.

She certainly looked worlds apart from her usual self, and her frame was again awfully slender, with some claiming that she was unrecognizable from a distance.

Wang’s look was a custom made gown by her own label and it featured an Italian cupro jersey draped gown that featured a low cowl neckline, gray toned feature applique on the skirt, and plenty of black toned feature lapels.

During the outing, she was joined by Keke Palmer, and again that star’s look was designed by her label as well.

The news comes a few months after the star designer appeared jaw-dropping on the Red Carpet of the BAFTAS this year in London. She debuted a much shorter cut and similarly kept the sunglasses on for the red carpet snaps.
