Megan Thee Stallion is serving up body-ody-ody at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala.
The Grammy Award winner, 27, looked angelic in a pair of metallic golden wings draped over her shoulders at the 2022 Met Gala, where she donned a stunning head-to-toe gold look by Moschino on the red carpet.
"I feel like I'm gold anyway, and I feel like I came out here to give my skin, I came out here to give melanin," Megan told PEOPLE of her look. "Gold looks beautiful on me."

Arriving with the label's creative director Jeremy Scott and an entourage of Moschino-clad stars, Megan wowed in a floor-length sequined gown with a thigh-high leg slit and sheer cutouts around her waist.
"Me and Jeremy have been talking in the DMs forever. I feel like I've always known him, I feel like he's so fun," she said of the collab. "And he was like, 'Megan, you coming to the Met Gala with me?' I was like, 'Yes I am. OK, that's fine. Here I come.'"

Megan noted that it took "probably like a week" for the look to come together, adding: "I feel like everybody's been preparing for so long, and I was just like, 'Jeremy, you know what to do. Get it together.' And he hit it in a week."
