Naturally, Emily Ratajkowski's Met Gala look was going to turn heads, but even we couldn't have predicted the impact of her dazzling silver gown and surprising hair transformation.

The My Body author stepped out at the industry's most hotly anticipated night of the calendar wearing a stunning grey dress with intricate black lattice details and sheer skirt, as well as a low plunging neckline.

The podcast host styled her unique ensemble with asymmetric jewels which modernised the look, opting for a dangling drop earring on one side and diamond ear cuffs on the other, which modernised the otherwise prim ensemble. 

Emily also nailed it on the beauty front, opting for a major hair transformation with her gamine fringe, paired with a Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld signature... a stunning black velvet bow. For makeup she kept the look sultry with a dramatic smokey eye.
