Lil Nas X was having his fangirl moment at the 2023 Met Gala.

The musician arrived at the Met Gala in a blindingly beautiful silver cat look and left with a handful of selfies with some of the biggest names who attended.

The 24-year-old musician had all eyes on him on the carpet in a full-body crystallized look inspired by Karl Lagerfeld's cat Choupette that he created with the help of legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath, creative director Nicola Formichett, nail artist Temeka Jackson and hairstylist Coree Moreno.

It seemed like his glitzy glamour attracted the attention of everyone there, as he shared a series of selfies on Instagram with everyone from Kim Kardashian and Doja Cat to Billie Eilish and more.

This first selfie showed him and his pearl-encrusted face standing next to Bad Bunny, who wore a white, backless Jacquemus suit with his hair slicked back and pearl earrings.

Next was a flick with his "INDUSTRY BABY" collaborator Jack Harlow, who wore a black Tommy Hilfiger suit, pearl earrings and his signature curly hair dangling untouched.

Nas then met up with his feline friend Doja Cat, who showed off her rendition of a glamorous Choupette in a tight-fitted hooded Oscar de la Renta gown that she completed with prosthetic cat makeup and sparkling cat ears on top of the hood.

Billie Eilish was the next on the list of selfies, and she starkly contrasted Lil Nas X's shiny outfit with her goth-glamour Simone Rocha gown — custom made for her — and Cartier jewelry.

Finishing off his star-studded selfie selection was Kim Kardashian, posing with duck lips in her Schiaparelli design and a group selfie with Maluma and Annita, who looked ultra-excited to see the walking disco ball.

Lil Nas X's over-the-top glam took nine hours to complete, according to Vogue, so it only makes sense that so many stars wanted to get pictures with it.
