Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes Make a Stunning Debut at the 2024 Met Gala

The 2024 Met Gala, themed “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” marked a significant milestone for country singer Kelsea Ballerini and Outer Banks star Chase Stokes as they made their first joint appearance at the prestigious event. The couple’s stylish presence left onlookers in awe, with Ballerini embracing the floral motif wholeheartedly and Stokes dazzling in a black sequin suit.

Ballerini’s couture Michael Kors Collection gown was adorned with vibrant floral appliqués in hues of orange, pink, and yellow. The flowing cape sleeves and the dress itself were embellished with these flower-like embellishments, while strategically-placed sheer panels added a hint of allure. To complete her look, she incorporated the same flowers into her bun. Stokes, on the other hand, wore a black Michael Kors Collection suit covered in sequins that shimmered brilliantly under the spotlight. He accessorized the low-cut blazer with statement necklaces and maintained his signature “wet” hair look.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Stokes shared that their outfits represented their individual personalities, stating, “We like to complement rather than coordinate.” Stokes couldn’t contain his admiration for Ballerini’s stunning attire, exclaiming, “It’s a 5,000 out of 10!” when asked about her look.

The couple’s chemistry was palpable as they walked the red carpet, with Stokes expressing his excitement about their ensembles with a simple yet eloquent phrase: ‘fking awesome.’ This marked a significant moment in their relationship, as they have been making appearances together and posing for the cameras as a couple. They were previously spotted at the Country Music Awards, where Stokes supported his girlfriend, who was nominated for CMT performance of the year.

As the couple continues to make waves in the entertainment industry, fans are left wondering what’s next for this stylish duo. Will they continue to push the boundaries of fashion and entertainment together, or will they explore new avenues in their respective careers? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes have made a lasting impression on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet.
