Kate Upton looked incredible in an emerald green Zac Posen gown featuring a matching hood and a jewel-encrusted crown at the 2018 Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday in New York City.

The 25-year-old American model and actress, who recently appeared as a guest judge on RuPaul’s ‘Drag Race’, was joined by Alexandre Birman at the event. It was the Brazilian shoe designer’s first Met Gala, and he designed Kate’s shoes after seeing the Swarovski-encrusted crown she’d be wearing. Kate completed her outfit with golden Stephen Russell earrings, makeup by Tracy Murphy, and hair by John Ruggiero. How do you like Kate’s gem-covered bow sandals?
