Gigi and Bella Hadid are a study in contrast as the sisters don black and white ...

They're two sisters with plenty in common, not least of which that they're both top 10 earning runway models.

But Gigi Hadid, 24, and Bella Hadid, 22, were a study in contrasts on Monday, when the pair hit the Met Gala red carpet wearing very different looks.

Gigi was unmissable in head-to-toe white and silver, while younger sister Bella rocked a bejeweled black dress.

Seventh highest earning model of 2018 (per Forbes) Gigi dropped jaws in a Michael Kors-designed jumpsuit with a matching headdress. 

Chunky soled boots completed the look, while the highlight of her impeccable makeup were stark white fake lashes. 

By contrast, number eight earning model Bella was decked out in head-to-toe black, from her brand new, dark pixie cut to her jewel encrusted gown.

The Met Gala is the annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute and is the most glittery and exclusive event on the New York fashion calendar.

It is famous for attracting luminaries of Hollywood, of fashion, music, sports, TV and the stage for an evening of fashion and charity to mark the museum's spring exhibit.

This year, the exhibit and gala are dedicated to the idea of 'camp,' as defined by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay Notes on 'Camp.' 

The Met Gala, formally known as the Costume Institute Benefit, is always chaired by a team of high-wattage celebrities, and this year is no exception. 

The event is chaired by pop star and actress-of-the-moment Lady Gaga, tennis star Serena Williams, and singer Harry Styles, along with Gucci designer Alessandro Michele and, as always, Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
