Lizzo has all eyes on her in puzzling 'vase dress' with bowl-like headpiece at ... trends now
Lizzo had all eyes on her outfit when she arrived at the 2024 Met Gala on Monday.
It wasn't all positive attention, though, as her bizarre dress left many fans watching from home scratching their heads.
The 36-year-old rapper, singer and flautist was decked out in a sleeveless pale brown dress that featured shimmering fabric that perfectly matched her skin tone.
But most of the attention was drawn to the top and bottom of the ensemble.
Lizzo (real name: Melissa Jefferson) wore a puzzling bowl-shaped headpiece that reached several inches above her head and came in for mockery on social media.

The hitmaker was dressed in a custom gown by Weinsanto, according to Vanity Fair.
The designer referred to the outfit as a 'vase dress,' which may have described either the bowl-like headpiece or the dress' upturned skirt, which rose several inches off the red carpet.
The outfit hugged Lizzo's curves and featured a sizzling sheer panel over her chest to highlight her cleavage.
Although the semi-sheer look matched her skin, it was also enlivened with tiny leaf designs, which made the rapper look like a scene from a gorgeous autumn day complete with falling red, orange and yellow leaves.
The gown was described as a 'full body corset' by its designer, and it certainly clung tightly to Lizzo's figure.
The skirt, which gave a hint of Lizzo's legs, featured sparser designs, and it transitioned into a cup-like upturned section.
Conceptual sketches of the dress and a photo of the original version from Weinsanto indicate that the outfit previously had no face cut-out, though Lizzo may not have wanted to go to such a high-profile event with her face hidden.
Fans and critics of the recording artist seemed to enjoy poking fun at the unusual outfit on social media.

'When Lizzo gets completely out of this cocoon, she'll be a beautiful butterfly,' joked one user on X (formerly Twitter).
Another person noted that her outfit had 'meme potential,' and they couldn't 'wait to see the results.'
The Barstool Sports account joked that 'Dudes see this and all they can think about is crumpling up a piece of paper and shooting it at Lizzo's dome.'
