Lizzo's Met Gala outfit featured gold hand-embroidery and took 22,000 hours to create.

The "About Damn Time" singer arrived at the 2022 Met Gala alongside Thom Browne, who designed her ensemble for the evening.

A representative for the designer told Insider that the singer's outfit included a corset dress in black silk moiré with a dropped skirt, and an oversized chesterfield coat in black duchess satin. The coat was adorned with silk satin stitch embroidery.

In addition, the representative told Insider that Lizzo's outfit contained 13 different materials and confirmed the design took 22,000 hours of needlework in total.

Lizzo, 34, spoke about the gown and coat in an interview with Variety. Celebrities followed a "gilded glamour" and white tie dress code for the "In America: An Anthology of Fashion" theme.

"This coat took 22,000 hours to make," Lizzo told reporters. "I'm in Thom Browne, and it's hugging my curves just right. I look amazing!"

According to Page Six, Browne told Vogue: "It's one of the most beautiful things I have done for someone," he continued. "It's something worthy of someone as special as Lizzo."

Lizzo also posted a photo of her dress on Instagram, writing in the caption," ITS THE BODY FA MEEEE… it's giving 1888 baroness ready to take the throne… corset-TAH-RY."

Representatives for Lizzo did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

During her interview with Variety, Lizzo also revealed that she brought a "rare flute" to the event that cost $55,000. She performed a small showcase on the Met Gala's red, white, and blue carpet.

Recently, Lizzo made headlines in April for wearing three bold outfits during her "Saturday Night Live" appearance. In March, she announced she was making a size-inclusive shapewear company called Yitty.
