Lorde left little to the imagination as she arrived to the 2025 Met Gala in New York City on Monday night.

The New Zealand songstress, 28, risked a wardrobe malfunction as she walked the red carpet in a revealing stuck-on grey bandeau top.

The singer completed her look with a matching coloured skirt which featured a lace up design along the back and held a matching silk blazer.

Lorde accessorised with a pair of grey heels and also opted for minimal jewellery consisting of silver earrings, a diamond bracelet and ring.

She tied her long brunette locks back into a plait and opted for a very natural makeup palette consisting of light blush and a nude lip.

Lorde ensured all eyes were on her as she arrived to the event before turning to reveal her backless stuck-on top.

It comes after Lorde recently sent fans into a frenzy with her jaw-dropping new album cover.

The New Zealand songstress stunned fans on Friday when she unveiled the cover art for Virgin, which featured an X-ray of what looked to be her pelvic area, showcasing her hip bones, belt buckle, and zipper.

The T-shaped object in the image, appearing to be an IUD, also sparked a wave of speculation that the inclusion was a bold political statement.

On her website, Lorde revealed the album was ‘100% written in blood’ and will be released on June 27.

But the shock factor didn’t stop there.

Less than 24 hours later, the Royals hitmaker upped the ante, sharing eye-popping topless snaps on Instagram, seen here.

Posing with her arms crossed over her chest in front of a window, as well as another shot sitting topless and hugging her knees, Lorde captioned the post with, ‘Hanging out with Martine for @documentjournal,’ hinting the nearly nude images were part of a magazine shoot.

Another snap in the carousel showed Lorde sporting black Calvin Klein briefs paired with a sheer black top, offering a striking contrast to the more intimate shots.

Meanwhile, Lorde also recently released her first new music in four years, the song What Was That.

She released the song on April 25 along with the music video which was partially filmed during her bike ride into Washington Square Park ahead of her pop-up performance of the track.

What Was That is Lorde’s first major release in almost four years, following 2021’s Solar Power album.

Lorde is one of the highest-selling New Zealand singers of all time and her 2013 song Royals reached number one in America, eventually being certified 14 times platinum.
