The theme for this year's Met Gala was "The Garden of Time," inspired by J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story, with the broader theme being "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

In line with these themes, Doja Cat chose a rather unconventional outfit which was a towel ensemble and a wet oversized T-shirt.
