Winnie Harlow has become one of the most famous women in fashion, catapulting from reality star to major model without missing a beat. But this isn’t her first Met Gala rodeo. Here, Harlow takes BAZAAR.com through her getting-ready journey, from hair and makeup at the hotel room to walking the famous steps and red carpet—all in two stunning Iris Van Herpen looks, chosen in collaboration with her stylist, Jason Bolden.

My looks from Iris Van Herpen definitely had a superhero feel to them.

It was all about the details.
