Cinderella star Camila Cabello and her boyfriend Shawn Mendes couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they walked the red carpet at the 2021 Met Gala in Manhattan on Monday.

Camila, 24, put on a scintillating display in a violet crop top and skirt from Michael Kors that took a note from 1920s-era flapper fashion with sequins and feathers.

Shawn contrasted her with an edgy modern look featuring black leather and washboard abs, also from Michael Kors.

Camila’s top and skirt left a triangular cutout over her midriff, and the top of her skirt was ruched just below her tummy.

The look had a tall slit revealing her legs and a towering pair of purple platform heels that strapped just above her ankles.

The Havana singer’s sleeveless ensemble glittered on the red carpet thanks to its abundant sequins.

She played up the 1920s style comparisons with a satin-lined feather shawl, which she she dragged along the ground playfully rather than wearing over her shoulders.

On point: Camila matched her makeup to her outfit with smoky lavender eye shadow

She added a final glamorous touch with her voluminous raven locks, which were parted down the middle and cascaded down her back in thick waves.

Shawn looked as casual as Camila looked classy with his all-black outfit.

The Canadian singer–songwriter skipped a shirt and instead showed off his rock-solid abs in an unbuttoned black leather blazer.

According to Camila, she would have been happy if he ditched the jacket.

‘I almost tried to get him to take that jacket off down there,’ she joked to Vogue. ‘I was like, “Take it off! Take it off!”‘

The In My Blood singer contrasted his leather jacket with a set of black velvet pants, which he held up with two black leather belts stacked on top of each other with gold buckles and multiple silver rings decorating them.

He proved to be a belt-and-suspenders man, as he had a slim off-kilter leather band that wrapped around his neck.

This was Camila’s debut at the Met Gala, but it was Shawn’s third time. In 2018, he walked the red carpet with Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin), who married Justin Bieber later in the year.

The lovebirds have been inseparable since the summer of 2019, but they were friends even before they started dating.

The all-star event is finally back after being canceled in 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic. This year it was pushed to September from its traditional slot on the first Sunday in May.

The theme is In America: A Lexicon of Fashion and the event features a heavy-hitting contingent of celebrity co-chairs: actor Timothée Chalamet, musician Billie Eilish, poet Amanda Gorman and tennis star Naomi Osaka.

Stripping down: ‘I almost tried to get him to take that jacket off down there,’ Camila joked to Vogue. ‘I was like, “Take it off! Take it off!”‘

Shawn seems to have played up the American theme with black cowboy-like boots and his rugged look, and both had their outfits designed by an American.

Honorary chairs for the evening will be designer Tom Ford, sponsor Instagram’s Adam Mosseri, and Vogue’s Anna Wintour.

When the hosts were first announced, Vogue magazine said: ‘Each of the Met’s four co-hosts embodies the defining factor of American style: individualism.

‘[They have each] developed a distinct visual language for their public personas, one that is informed by the legacy of iconic fashion made in the USA.’

Camila and Shawn and all other attendees had to be vaccinated against Covid-19 before walking the red carpet.

‘Currently, all attendees at The Met Gala on September 13 must provide proof of full vaccination and will also be expected to wear masks indoors except when eating or drinking,’ a spokesperson for The Met said last month.

Amid the hustle and bustle of arrivals, Camila and Shawn both paused for some glamorous poses with Winnie Harlow.

The model looked chic in a sheer Iris Van Herpen jumpsuit with striking bone-like stripes.

This year’s gala will be a more intimate affair than past years and will be followed by a larger gala on May 2, 2022. Both will launch a two-part exhibition, a survey of American fashion to be on view for almost a year.

In America: A Lexicon of Fashion, opening Sept. 18, will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the museum´s Costume Institute and ‘explore a modern vocabulary of American fashion,’ the spokesperson added.

Part two, In America: An Anthology of Fashion, will open in the museum’s popular American Wing period rooms on May 5, 2022, and will explore American fashion, with collaborations with film directors, by ‘presenting narratives that relate to the complex and layered histories of those spaces.’ Both parts will close on Sept. 5, 2022.
