According to Vogue, the curve-hugging, corseted design was made entirely of an invisible net of Swarovski crystals — numbering 84,000 to be exact — which took six artisans more than 200 hours to meticulously hand apply. “When I first saw the sketches, I was blown away by the level of intricacy,” Shayk told the outlet of the craftsmanship that went into her glamorous dress for fashion's biggest night. Shayk added even more sparkle to her look with a collection of diamond bangles on both wrists, as well as a statement choker necklace. The star’s hair was styled into a chic top bun by celebrity stylist Harry Josh, using Great Lengths extensions and an array of KERASILK products. She opted for a simple makeup look accented by a bold lip color. Irina Shayk attends the 2024 Met Gala on May 6, 2024.
