Diana Ross walked the blue carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala on Monday evening. She wore an all-white gown with an 18-foot long train.
The music legend's train covered a large section of the staircase as she arrived for the annual Met Gala. Multiple helpers assisted in carrying the expansive fabric.
Ross designed the gown with Nigerian fashion designer Ugo Mozie. The train featured embroidery with the names of her children and her eight grandchildren.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibit inspiring this year's gala is titled "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." The dress code for the evening was "Tailored For You."
Ross's son, Evan Ross, and daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross, also attended the event. Evan Ross wore a design by Eleven Sixteen, Mozie's luxury brand.
Speaking to Vogue about her gown, Diana Ross described it as an "Affair forever, family gown." She added that her son Evan persuaded her to attend while she is on tour.
Ross also discussed her upcoming tour dates in the United Kingdom and Europe. Earlier this year, she stated she does not plan to retire.
The singer said in a social media post she would never retire and they would have to "drag me off the stage!"
