The eight-member K-pop group wore coordinating red, white and blue outfits at the event, known formally as the Costume Institute Benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Monday in New York.

"Representing Tommy Hilfiger as eight members for the first time on the Met Gala red carpet is truly a rare and honorable moment for us," Stray Kids singer Felix told Vogue.

The members of Stray Kids stepped onto the red carpet in navy wool peacoats, which they took off to unveil their tailored suit jackets, shirts and pants featuring floral embroidery, pins and buttons in keeping with the gala's Garden of Time dress code.

"Dressing all eight Stray Kids -- a global force in pop music -- for a Met Gala red-carpet experience has been one for the books," Hilfiger said. "One of the special things about Stray Kids is each member has a completely individual style, and they all complement each other perfectly."

Stray Kids, consisting of Felix, Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Seungmin and I.N, is the first K-pop group to attend the Met Gala. Blackpink members Jennie and Rose and NCT singer Johnny have previously attended the event solo.

Celebrity couples Dove Cameron and Damiano David, Queen Latifah and Eboni NIchols, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were among the other stars at Monday's gala.

Stray Kids will release a new single, "Lose My Breath" featuring Charlie Puth, on Friday.
