Billie Eilish wows in sheer black dress at Met Gala as boyfriend is nowhere to be seen

Billie Eilish looked sensational as she stormed the Met Gala red carpet in New York City on Monday night.

The Bad Guy chart-topper, 21, oozed elegance in a striking sheer black gown, complete with sheer black gloves and tight to match.

Proving that she understood this year's theme - which was in honour of fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld - Billie modelled the embellished gown to perfection as she posed on the red carpet alongside her brother, Finneas, with her boyfriend Jesse Rutherford nowhere to be seen.

The songstress ensured that her makeup and hair were equally as dramatic as her gothic gown as she and her glam team opted for a dark smokey eye and a nude lip, while Billie's black tresses were slicked back from her face in a low braid.

Billie topped off the glamorous Met Gala look with a pair of black killer heels and her perfected modelling skills which shone through on the red carpet alongside her older brother Finneas, 25, who looked sharp in an oversized brown leather jacket.

Opening up on what a privilege it is to be invited to such a prestigious event, Billie said on the red carpet: "Any time I get invited to the Met Gala, it’s such an honor. I have a great time. I go in there and I have good stories afterwards, I’ll say that."

In recent months, the Ocean Eyes singer, 21, has come under fire for the 10-year age gap with 31-year-old Jesse.

Billie and Jesse made their red carpet debut in November last year and have had to fight off criticism from some fans who have taken offence at their 10-year age gap.

Award-winning musician Billie admitted she tries to keep her romantic life out of the spotlight because the internet can be difficult over 'stuff like this'.

"Falling in love is hard for me. It's a spooky thing, love. It's really spooky," she admitted in an interview with Highsnobiety.

The hitmaker recently gushed over her boyfriend for the first time, saying he is the "hottest f**king f**ker alive".

When asked in an interview with Vanity Fair if she had a boyfriend, Billie smiled and replied: "Yeah I do, and it’s really cool and I’m really excited and I’m really happy about it.

"I managed to get my way to a point in my life my life to a point where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest f**king f**ker alive, but I pulled his a**."

After confirming her new beau was Jesse, Billie added: "I’m really inspired by this person and you know he’s inspired by me, it’s really cool."

This year, the Met Gala theme was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.

The late German designer was Chanel's long-time creative director and he passed in 2019 at the age of 85.
