Met Gala 2017: Kendall Jenner stuns in barely there dress

May 2 (UPI) -- Kendall Jenner stunned in a barely there dress on the red carpet Monday.

The 21-year-old reality star and model attended the 2017 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which honored Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons and its founder, Rei Kawakubo.

Kendall Jenner turned heads in a black La Perla slip made from 85,000 crystals and a single piece of thread. Her thong bodysuit underneath was hand-painted onto her curves.

"The entire gown is made from one piece of string," La Perla creative director Julia Haart told Elle. "It's a very strong, very flexible, incredibly thin piece of nylon, and we've strung 85,000 crystals onto it."

Kendall Jenner's sister Kylie Jenner, model Bella Hadid and actress Halle Berry also wore "naked" looks to the gala. Kendall Jenner discussed her revealing outfit and her favorite part of the event in an interview with Allure prior to the red carpet.

"It's pretty sexual but, it's cool and I always like something that's a little controversial," she said of her dress.

"[My favorite Met Gala memory is] the bathroom selfie we all do," the star added. "We've actually already talked about it -- when we're all going to rush off."

Kendall Jenner's sister Kim Kardashian was among the other celebrities at the gala. Kendall Jenner came to fame on her family's E! series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and has since modeled for Chanel and Victoria's Secret.
