Since Camila Cabello rose to fame as a member of Fifth Harmony, her music career has been impressive. Part of the reason for that is that fans love talking about Cabello. Some examples of that include discussions about whether Cabello has peaked, if she has gotten over Shawn Mendes, and rumors she was involved with Drake.

When Cabello attended the 2024 Met Gala event, she stood out among all the stars in attendance, mostly due to her accessory. However, Cabello's accessory was so unique that it could be argued that she risked getting injured by carrying it.

This article will reveal how Camila Cabello's 2024 Met Gala accessory could have injured her. Then, the article will look at the story Cabello told about why she chose to carry the accessory that could have injured her.

Camila Cabello's Met Gala Ice Purse Could Have Injured Her Hands

When Camila Cabello attended the 2024 Met Gala, she turned a lot of heads with her gorgeous gown. In fact, when Buzzfeed published their list of the best 2024 Met Gala looks of Gen Z celebrities, they included Cabello as a part of their list.

Part of the reason for that is, according to Vogue, Cabello was wearing a Ludovic de Saint Sernin gown with 250,000 Swarovski crystals which weighed fifteen pounds. The fact that the gown was slit to show off a lot of Cabello's leg also certainly didn't hurt.

That said, the talk about Cabello's look at the 2024 Met Gala mostly revolved around the unique accessory she brought to the event. After all, Cabello carried a clutch made of ice on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet.

When celebrities attend the Met Gala, part of the fun is seeing how they will play into the theme each year. In 2024, the Met Gala's theme was Garden of Time, which Cabello arguably made the most interesting play on.

In the middle of Cabello's ice clutch was a single rose that could be planted in a garden. Cabello's accessory played on the theme perfectly since the ice clutch would melt over time to release the flower.

While Cabello was celebrated for her ice clutch, that doesn't necessarily mean that it was a good idea for her to carry it. After all, the reality of the situation was that Cabello carried a block of ice in her bare hands for minutes on end as she walked the red carpet.

How many top 10 hits has Camila Cabello had, according to Billboard?

While Cabello was on the Met Gala red carpet, she stopped to be interviewed by Extra TV. During that discussion, someone in the area asked the singer if her clutch was made from real ice. In response, Cabello let the interviewer touch the ice clutch to prove it was real.

While that interaction was fascinating, the most interesting part of the interview was that Cabello's hands were visible. When Cabello tried to show that her hands were wet from the melting ice, what she really revealed was that her hands looked extremely cold.

For anyone who has held ice in their hands for thirty seconds, there is nothing shocking about the idea that Cabello's hands would be cold from her ice clutch. However, since most people would put ice down once their hands got too cold, the risk Cabello was taking may not be clear for many observers.

As an article from Healthline details, having your skin directly exposed to ice for a long time can cause serious injuries. The reason for that is lengthy and direct exposure can result in ice burns.

Healthline's article went on to detail the symptoms that people suffering from ice burns can have. Unsurprisingly, some of the symptoms sound like they would be miserable to deal with.

Fortunately for Camila Cabello, she likely didn't suffer from ice burns because of her Met Gala accessory based on photos published by The Daily Mail. Following the Met Gala, Cabello was photographed attending an after-party with her hands visible, which seemingly revealed she didn't suffer any serious injuries. However, an E! News article from the day after the Met Gala claimed that Cabello was still "reeling over the 'brrrrrrr' from the frigid accessory".

According to Heathline, people who've suffered an ice burn could only have to cope with numbness, itchiness, and tingly feelings. Alternatively, ice burn sufferers may have to deal with worse symptoms like pain, blisters, and "unusually firm or waxy skin"

During Cabello's aforementioned Extra TV interview, the singer revealed that the clutch was supposed to be a purse. Cabello later shared a series of photos from the day of the Met Gala on Instagram. One of those photos showed a chain attached to the ice clutch which would've made it a purse.
