Carpenter made her Met Gala debut in 2022 but truly captured attention last year when she and her then-boyfriend Barry Keoghan made their red carpet debut on the Metropolitan Museum steps. The couple has since broken up.

For the "Garden of Time" theme, Carpenter wore a custom Oscar de la Renta gown. The strapless gown featured a mermaid bodice with a sweetheart neckline, as well as a light blue, cloud-like satin skirt. She paired it with her swept-up blonde hair, black platform heels and a statement necklace.
