The tiered gown included dazzling silver embellishments and gold and purple swirl-like designs. She paired the look with silver strappy heels. Anna held tightly on to her beau's arm as they posed for photographs together.
It seems Anna and Bill have known each other for many years - as the pair have been spotted together at numerous fashion shows, theatres, and restaurants since 2015.
They were first linked romantically in the summer of 2021, when they were spotted on a series of dates together in Rome.
On one occasion, the pair was seen wrapping their arms around each other before sitting down to enjoy an al-fresco meal. And during another dinner, Bill was photographed gifting Anna roses.
The couple reportedly became close following Anna's split from her partner 16 years, Shelby Bryan, in October 2020.
Meanwhile, Bill's last known relationship was with English actress Diana Quick. The couple struck up a romance in 1980 and welcomed a daughter - Mary Nighy - in 1984. They were together for 28 years before they separated in 2008.
Hours before the Met kicked off, the famously frosty editor was caught sharing a heartfelt moment with her one-year-old grandson during the final Met Gala prep meeting.
Anna's daughter Bee Carrozzini shared the touching snap to her Instagram Stories on Monday morning.

The fashion queen, who is well known for having a very icy demeanor, gave a rare glimpse of her vulnerable side as she cuddled up to the toddler in the sweet shot.
In the photo, Anna could be seen sitting in a gold chair at a long table with her grandson, named Oliver Sozzani Carrozzini, on her lap.

The magazine editor, who donned a blue, floral, floor-length gown, appeared to be whispering in the youngster's ear as she held onto him tightly.
'Final Met meeting,' Bee, 35, captioned it.
Branded by some as the biggest night in fashion, the Met Gala takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Each year, on the first Monday of May, Hollywood's biggest celebrities stomp the red carpet in their most extravagant and lavish outfits, many of which are compulsively talked about by the public.
People from all around the world excitedly wait for the red carpet photos to hit the web, while the stars all try to outdo each other with their looks.
It's no secret that Anna is very particular when it comes to planning the event, and some even described her as 'militant' during the weeks leading up the gala while chatting to author Amy Odell in the book Anna: The Biography.
Amy spoke with various Met staffers and other people who have worked with Anna for the tome, which came out last May, and according to the writer, Anna doesn't learn Met staff names during the preparations - which begin six months prior to the party - but instead, she simply points and calls them 'you.'
Amy reported that Anna controls every aspect of the guest list, deciding who is 'in' and who is 'out.'
At the time, she said the 'out' list included Paris and Nicole Hilton, 'low-performing artists,' and any planners who angered her throughout the process.
As for the 'in' list, Amy stated that anyone whose 'success, power, creativity, and beauty is undeniable' is allowed to attend.
Some begin as 'in' and get moved to 'out' - like the late André Leon Talley, who worked with her at Vogue for many years, but later claimed their relationship left him with 'emotional and psychological scars.'

Others weren't allowed to come at first, but later made the list - like Kim Kardashian, who has attended every year since 2013.
And her decision on whether you're 'in' or 'out' extends further than the party. According to former director of Vogue and longtime friend of Anna's, named Lisa Love, once you're on Anna's bad side, you don't stand a chance of making your way back into her inner circle.
'If you get frozen by her, that's it. She's a Scorpio, you're done. It's that cold,' she said.
When it comes to the outfits, Amy reported that Anna encourages guests to wear over-the-top looks.
'It's that English part of her. She loves a dress-up party,' Lisa explained.
Former Met Gala planner Stephanie Winston Wolkoff explained that during the party, Anna usually insists that Vogue staff know every single detail about each celebrity's arrival - including when they're going to get there (every star has their own prearranged time), what car they're going to come in, and what they're wearing.
Anna reportedly pays attention to every single detail throughout the night. Lisa recalled the executive asking her during the 2019 Met Gala, 'Can you please tell Kim Kardashian to sit down?' when she noticed that the reality star was standing throughout the dinner.
Two other people close to Wintour recalled a time that she asked the Met to cover up the historical Temple of Dendur - a Roman Egyptian temple built in 15 B.C. which is on display at the museum - because she felt it didn't look good, and when they didn't agree, she decided to build a stage in front of it so that the guests wouldn't see it.
