Linda Evangelista, 58, stuns in all

Linda Evangelista wowed in an all-white outfit on Monday while attending the star-studded 2024 Met Gala in New York City for the first time in nearly a decade.

The 58-year-old supermodel wore a set from Khaite that included a sleeveless white top with heavy draping along with a matching white skirt with thick pleats upon arrival at The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala.

During her time away from the fashion extravaganza - Evangelista sensationally revealed in 2021 that she had been left 'permanently deformed' following rare side effect to cosmetic procedure. 

The last time she was seen at the Met Gala was back in 2015.  

However, the Canada native appeared to be back to her supermodel best on Monday night, wearing white gloves that covered her biceps and completed her look with white open-toed heels.

Linda had her short dark brown down in tight waves and added a pop of color with dangling green earrings by designer Ana Khouri.

She accentuated her natural beauty with just a hint of makeup including pink lipstick.

Linda's appearance at fashion's biggest night was her first in nearly a decade. She last attended the Met Gala in 2015, which had a theme of China: Through the Looking Glass.

Linda wore a red Moschino gown with a large black bow in a nod to the 2015 gala's theme.

This year the event is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion while the dress code is The Garden of Time.

Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth served as this year's co-chairs. Also on the committee is Vogue's Anna Wintour who again was the host.

The honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.

'This year's co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,' Vogue shared.
