FKA twigs made sure to bring the glamour in a feathered flapper dress at the 2025 Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Benefit Gala on Monday.
The British singer, 37, turned heads as she went braless under the plunging dazzling number as she posed up a storm on the star-studded blue carpet.
She put on a leggy display with a daring thigh high split in her eye catching green feathered skirt.
FKA, who's real name is Tahliah Barnett, elevated her frame in a pair of coordinated stilettos and draped a white scarf around her arms.
During the evening, the hitmaker risked a run in with ex Robert Pattison's partner Suki Waterhouse who wowed in a backless daring tuxedo dress.
FKA, who dated the Twilight actor for three years until 2017, beamed as she made her way up the iconic Met steps.

Robert and Suki started dating in 2018 and have been rumoured to have got 'married' while holidaying in the Caribbean' earlier this year. They share a 10-month old daughter together.
Back in 2019 FKA revealed she has had to learn to 'unmesh' herself from ex-boyfriend Robert in a bid to discover her true self.
Speaking to Zane Lowe for his on Apple Music's Beats 1, FKA said: 'Unmeshing, like when you're with somebody, your lives become very entwined with like your friends and family and your routine.
The couple split just three months after the actor claimed they were 'kind of' betrothed.
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's 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.
While the co-chairs were already announced, the leaked list has only fueled the hype.
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.
