Billie Eilish made her Met Gala debut on September 13, arriving at the red carpet to celebrate the Costume Institute’s exhibition In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.

The 19-year-old star made the most out of her Met Gala debut — she’s also one of the evening’s four co-chairs — and wore a flowing peach Oscar de la Renta gown, complete with a glamorous train. Eilish also had her blonde locks styled in a short crop, à la Marilyn Monroe. Let’s not forget the jewels; Eilish was dripping in Cartier diamonds.

Eilish said that her choice to go full glam was a long time coming. “It was time,” she said, noting that she finally felt confident enough to embrace Old Hollywood glamour. Additionally, she only agreed to wear the princess-y Oscar de la Renta gown on one condition: the brand stopped using fur.
