Her last appearance before this year was in 2023 when she arrived at the event with her husband A$AP Rocky.
She made a striking entrance, wearing a white Valentino gown adorned with a camellia-inspired hood, adorned with white roses. Rocky, on the other hand, wore a red kilt, with a long black blazer, pairing it with stonewashed jeans and a signature Lagerfeld skinny tie and fingerless gloves, reported Vogue.
