Nigerian music stars, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy and Temilade Openiyi popularly called Tems made their debut at the 2023 edition of the prestigious Met Gala event, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, United States on Monday night
The Met Gala which is arguably the biggest posh fundraising event in the world is held annually and the average entrance ticket for regulars at the Gala is a staggering $30,000, while VIP and VVIP even cost a lot more.
The event titled “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”, also had celebrities such as Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Cardi B, Diddy, Dr. Dre, Naomi Campbell and South African comedian, Trevor Noah in attendance.

As usual, Burna Boy did not disappoint as he graced the annual event donning a matching black and blue slightly checkered outfit and a generous cape-like extension of the same material flowing behind him.
Interestingly, the ‘Last Last’ crooner had a twin fashion moment, when Irish actor, Barry Keoghan turned up in a similar ensemble.
Tems on her part, was equally stylishly dressed in a custom Rober Wun dress – a black corset-like top, a flowing regal with white finishing at the bottom, and elbow-length gloves.
The Oscar-nominated singer was styled on the night by Dunsin Wright.
In a side interview with ESSENCE, Tems expressed excitement for making her Met Gala debut.
She said: “Oh my goodness! I have never done it [Met Gala] before. So, I’m so excited. It’s my first time. It’s going to be lit!”
