Can We Please Take A Moment To Appreciate Diana Ross' Jaw-Dropping Met Gala Look?
If you're going to wear an 18-foot train, the Met Ball is the place to do it.
There are show-stopping Met Gala entrances… and then there’s what Diana Ross delivered at this year’s event.
While the annual fundraiser can often serve as a chance for up-and-coming talent to establish themselves on the A-list red carpet, it’s also an opportunity for some true legends to remind everyone how they came to be known as such.

And that’s exactly what the iconic Ms Ross did on Monday night.
Walking the red carpet in an all-white ensemble, the main detail of the former Supremes star’s outfit was the jaw-dropping train, which extended right down the steps as she made her way into the Met Ball.
A decade after Rihanna sparked a thousand memes with her iconic train at the same event, the Chain Reaction singer also revealed that her own 18-foot train had a sweet detail of its own.

She explained: “Inside the train has the names of all my children and my eight grandchildren. So everybody’s name is embroidered in that.”

But while the legendary singer was one of the scene-stealers of the night, she wasn’t the only member of the Ross dynasty that made a big impression at the Met Gala.

Her daughter, actor Tracee Ellis Ross, really embraced the night’s theme with a look paying homage to the history of Black dandyism.
At Monday’s fundraiser, the Black-ish and Black Mirror star could be seen posing for photographers in a look encompassing various shades of pink, which included wide-leg trousers, a tailored blazer with an enormous bow detail and a towering hat to complete the ensemble.
