She’s a Met Gala veteran.
And Emily Ratajkowski took the iconic staircase by storm again on Monday in another head-turning look.
The model, 31, had all eyes on her in a plunging taupe gown that left little of her cleavage to the imagination as she attended the 2023 Met Gala.
The beaded strapless look hugged her slim waist and featured a semi-sheer skirt that rolled out into a dramatic train.
The outfit matched this year’s Karl Lagerfeld theme as the dress closely matched his signature style.

Emily is just one of many stars preparing to take the famous staircase tonight.
The 2023 Met Gala returns to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City Monday night, with everyone from Kim Kardashian to Paris Hilton set to attend the annual fundraiser.
Since 1948, stars have been climbing the majestic staircase to a very exclusive party where no selfies are allowed.
The event traditionally takes place on the first Monday in May. It is scheduled to begin May 1, 2023 at 6:30 p.m. EST.

Fans can follow the event in real time via a live stream on Vogue.
This year the theme of the ball is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”. The late German designer was the creative director of Chanel for many years. He passed away in 2019 at the age of 85.
His beloved cat, Choupette, was even invited to the celebrations.
The decision to honor Karl has sparked controversy, from criticizing the #MeToo movement to opposing same-sex marriage, given the many offensive remarks he’s made over the years.
“I’m against it for a very simple reason: in the 1960s everyone said we were entitled to the difference. And now all of a sudden they want a middle-class life,” he told Vice of same-sex marriage.
“Hard to imagine – one of the dads at work and the other at home with the baby. How about that for the baby? I don’t know. I see more lesbians married with babies than boys married with babies. And I also believe in the relationship between mother and child more than that between father and child.”
Done! Even her taupe manicure matched her dress. Stunning: She rocked some serious jewelry including a pair of earrings.

While he finally showed his support for same-sex marriage at his Chanel haute couture show in spring 2013, he still said he was “less keen” on same-sex couples adopting children, according to the AP.
Along with Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, who directs and hosts the annual event, the MET Gala 2023 will also be co-hosted by Penelope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel and also Roger Federer.
While the show may be known for its glitzy and over-the-top red carpet — with details of what’s happening inside they often remain mysterious — at its core, it’s a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
Last year, the 2022 MET Gala alone grossed $17.4 million, Billboard reported.
