Greenspan May 6, 2019 11:40 PM UTC As if [Kacey Musgraves](http://time.com/5528787/kacey-musgraves-meme/) weren’t enough of an icon already, she decided to roll up to the 2019 Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Benefit in a hot pink Barbie convertible. But the [Met Gala](http://time.com/5584341/billy-porter-met-gala-2019/) theme is camp: Of course, the look didn’t stop at the wheels. Musgraves wore long blonde hair, departing from her dark locks, and a hot pink dress by Moschino, looking pretty much exactly like the beloved childhood doll. She even held a pink handbag that’s actually a hair dryer. Known for [having fun on social media](http://time.com/5526160/grammys-2019-best-worst-moments/), the singer teased Monday’s look on Twitter in the hours leading up to the event in New York. She even shared a photo of a matching Barbie doll in the same look — down to the earrings and fur wrap — tagging the line’s creative director Jeremy Scott in the picture. > [](https://twitter.com/KaceyMusgraves/status/1125530918989512707) > [](https://twitter.com/duepesci/status/1125537758423015424) In another tweet, Musgraves wrote “MET Monday” along with a photo of her holding the tiniest Barbie sunglasses ever. Her actual look featured the same sunglasses — albeit, human-sized — and the same dangly earrings seen on the doll. > [](https://twitter.com/KaceyMusgraves/status/1125429164008529920) Always one to commit to character, the 2019 Album of the Year Grammy winner said she was starting her hair and makeup in a Barbie glam set. > [](https://twitter.com/KaceyMusgraves/status/1125490746155524096) Musgraves certainly made a statement for [“Camp: Notes on Fashion”](http://time.com/5584111/met-gala-2019-camp-history/) — and with that entrance, Twitter users knew it before she even stepped up to the red carpet. > [](https://twitter.com/kevinpokeeffe/status/1125535157862010880) > [](https://twitter.com/expressi0nless/status/1125537201817677824) > [](https://twitter.com/NolaMarianna/status/1125538117228859399) > [](https://twitter.com/ruddgala/status/1125537428842872833) Kacey Musgraves Entered the 2019 Met Gala in a Barbie Car ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5584433/kacey-musgraves-met-gala-barbie-car/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5584433/kacey-musgraves-met-gala-barbie-car/"},"headline":"Kacey Musgraves Casually Rolled Up to the 2019 Met Gala in a Barbie Convertible","datePublished":"2019-05-06T23:40:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:58:54.984Z","description":"She teased the look on Twitter hours before","url":"https://time.com/5584433/kacey-musgraves-met-gala-barbie-car/","keywords":["Newsfeed","onetime","Met Gala 2019"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4611ec5cfb7d5e19/6989498b929fad7950bf32aa/kacey-musgraves-met-gala-2019-camp.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rachel E.
