Paris Hilton certainly pulled out all the stops to mark her maiden appearance at a Met Gala.

Her appearance was delayed by protestors, but she didn't let the issue affect her debut run at the show.

The media personality-turned-DJ, 42, looked stunning as she walked the red carpet for the first time in a beautiful black Marc Jacobs design.

Marc described the ideas behind the gown, which was part leather. The dazzling off-the-should design was complete by a shimmering sleeve and chest design - at Paris' request.

She paired it with an eye-catching black flower neck-tie. Paris' makeup was on point as her dark eye shadow allowed her to perfectly stare down the lens of photographers in a sultry fashion.

She had earlier teased her look to fans in an Instagram update prior to making her way to the event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Taking to social media she showed herself in the full flow of getting ready. She made sure to get a lymphatic massage ahead of the event in order to look "snatched for the Met", before sharing a selfie to personally thank her masseuse.

The socialite had been rumoured to be on Anna Wintour's "off list" for the stand-out night in the fashion calendar for some time.

But the Simple Life star's rejections over the years has now been put to bed in an emphatic way. It's thought that the olive branch might have been extended due to this year's theme featuring around the iconic late designer, Karl Lagerfeld.

In Paris' memoir released earlier this year she paid a heartbreaking tribute to the designer, sharing her deep connection with him.

And a day before this year's gala, Paris took to Instagram to once again remember the icon, sharing a selection of throwback snaps which showed her huddled with Karl as they both posed for pics.

One of the images saw Karl whisper something in Paris' ear and she captioned her upload: "Karl has always been a fashion inspiration to me. Such an icon and innovator. Love that he is the theme of this years #MetGala."
