Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello made a bold Met Gala debut last night, with Mendes wearing an open leather jacket and Cabello posing alongside him in a glittery purple crop top and skirt by Michael Kors. The two continued their style streak post-gala at an after-party. Both leaned into black and white ensembles, with Cabello notably changing into a black and white blazer, a black bustier top, and striped Christian Dior micro shorts.
Cabello and Mendes have been dating for over two years now. Mendes spoke to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in November about how the experience of falling for Cabello changed him.
“A lot happens when you fall in love for the first time, because you really feel this support, this grounded, ‘Hey, if everything goes away, I’m going to be okay,’” he mused. “It’s perspective, and it’s beautiful. And it really allows you to be like, ‘Okay, well, if I’m going to do this [make music, etc.], I might as well be doing it for the right reasons and really, really, really enjoying it.’ Otherwise, I’d just rather watch movies with you all day.”
He added that it is important to love yourself first, above all else. “You cannot be the best version of a son or a brother or a boyfriend or a friend to anybody if you’re not constantly there for you, and you’re watching out for you, and you’re checking in on your heart and your space and your energy,” he said. “And the closer you get to that clarity and that freedom within you, the more space you have for everybody else in your life. And I think that that was something that really happened over that period too, especially with Camila and I, is that we started giving ourselves a lot more time, which then allowed us to give everything more time and space, if that makes sense.”
