Camila Cabello caught everyone’s attention at the Met Gala with her unique ice clutch. The event took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 6, where the 2024 Met Gala showcased some unforgettable looks. Her choice of accessory was especially unusual and came with a unique story.
Camila Cabello explained her unique accessory choice to Extra, saying, “I feel like it is impermanence and things decaying over time and the beauty in that.”
True to its theme, the ice clutch didn’t last the night. The former Fifth Harmony star revealed that the purse had transformed during the event. “It was a purse,” she said, “but then it broke about 5 minutes into being in line, so I called my stylist like, ‘What do I do?’”
With some quick thinking, Cabello decided to hold the remaining piece like a clutch and remarked, “We’re just trying things here.”
The clutch wasn’t just a block of ice. Designed by Jane Wade, it also featured a copper rose, echoing the single flower on the gala’s invitations, tying into the overall theme beautifully.
Cabello’s outfit included more nods to the theme of “beauty in decay.” Her stunning gown, designed by Ludovic de Saint Sernin, weighed 15 pounds and was adorned with 250,000 Swarovski crystals. The dress had intentional rips at the bottom, linking back to her theme of impermanence. To complete her look, she wore iridescent makeup and styled her hair in a “wet” ponytail.
The “Señorita”singer had the gala’s “Garden of Time” theme in mind when assembling her outfit, but she was also inspired by something else — her upcoming album, C,XOXO, set to release on June 28.
“It’s Miami-themed,” she shared with Variety, “so we’re dripping, we’re wet.” This statement not only ties back to her album’s theme, but also cleverly connects with her look and the gala’s overall ambiance.
Fans were quick to react to Camila Cabello’s unique ice purse, noticing that it was actually made from real ice as droplets visibly fell from it. Many initially mistook it for glass until they saw the melting. Concerned comments also emerged, with fans asking about the comfort of her hand, wondering, “Is your hand doing okay?” and even humorously questioning, “How did your hand not fall off?” One fan expressed admiration, exclaiming, “You are incredible! How could you even hold the ice for such a long time?”
The 2024 Met Gala featured the theme “The Garden of Time,” inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 story. Celebrities wore outfits that highlighted the brief and changing nature of beauty and time. Check out more outfits here.

Starving ‘Stray’ Pup Sits Patiently At Restaurant Door, Waits For Food
Everyone walked by her as she lay on the sidewalk until one person changed everything!
Amid the relentless downpour, a stray dog with a thick, curly coat roamed the desolate urban streets in a relentless search for food. Her wanderings eventually brought her to the welcoming doorstep of a local restaurant, capturing the immediate attention of the staff inside. As she stood there, soaked to the bone and gazing intently at them, her eyes conveyed a poignant plea for just a small helping of food or even mere scraps. Her appearance not only surprised but deeply moved the restaurant team, who were unprepared for such a heart-tugging encounter.
The restaurant team was immediately moved by the sight of the tiny, bedraggled pup. Despite wearing a collar, her condition suggested she had been surviving alone for quite some time. Responding with swift compassion, they fed her, and she quickly polished off every last bit of the meal, indicating her dire hunger from days spent unfed.
The following day, she returned, demonstrating her newfound trust. She waited until the premises were quiet and approached again for what had now become her expected evening meal. The staff happily obliged, serving her another hearty portion, which she gratefully accepted.
Maintaining a respectful distance, yet clearly more comfortable, she ventured inside to wait as her meal was prepared. Though she remained wary of physical contact, her actions spoke volumes about her growing reliance on this new-found sanctuary.
After enjoying her meal, she departed, only to return the very next morning, eagerly anticipating another serving. This pattern continued, and the pup became a regular fixture at the restaurant. Concerned for her well-being, the staff decided to follow her one evening, learning that she roamed the local area nightly in search of a safe spot to rest.
Local market employees recognized the dog, noting she had been a fixture in the neighborhood for months without a stable home. Moved by her resilience and repeated visits, the restaurant team resolved to provide her with a permanent solution. After her next meal, they spent considerable time gently encouraging her to stay longer. Eventually, they managed to secure a leash around her, marking a pivotal moment in her life.
From that day forward, the decision was clear. The once-stray pup would now spend her nights in the warmth of a home, with days passed as a cherished companion at the restaurant. Her life was transformed by the simple acts of kindness from the restaurant staff, who not only fed her body but also nurtured her soul.
Now a beloved member of the restaurant family, she no longer has to worry about her next meal or a place to sleep. Her days are filled with joy, comfort, and the occasional cuddle, a stark contrast to her previous life of uncertainty and solitude.
