For her second appearance at the Met Gala, Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline stuns in a perfectly tailored Tommy Hilfiger gown based on the brand’s staple: the button-up shirt.
In addition to Cline, guest including K-pop group Stray Kids and GQ Global Editorial Director Will Welch wore the designer and attended with him and his wife, Dee Hilfiger.
Cline and Hilfiger opted for a straightforward approach to “The Garden of Time” dress code. With shades of white and cream, scattered rosettes and a full skirt, Cline’s look contrasts the streamlined Stella McCartney black and silver dress she wore last year at her 2023 Met Gala debut.
