Billionaire oil heiress Ivy Getty embraced her newly-single status on Monday night when she stepped out onto the red carpet at the Met Gala looking every inch the stunning starlet.
Ivy, 29, put on a very glamorous display as she arrived at the glittering event, making her mark on the red carpet in a very unique silk dress, which featured elegant floral detailing across the front, as well as a dramatic train that swept behind her as she walked up the Met Museum steps.
But the stunning model - who filed for divorce from her husband Tobias 'Toby' Engel in January after just four years of marriage - did not have to go it alone at the star-studded soiree.
In fact, Ivy landed herself a very dapper date for the evening, fashion designer Conner Ives, who not only accompanied her on the red carpet, but was also responsible for her ensemble for the evening.
Ivy Getty embraced her newly-single status as she made a stunning splash at this year's Met Gala, just weeks after her divorce was revealed

Ivy's dutiful date went to great lengths to ensure she looked her very best for the evening, even pausing outside of their hotel in order to adjust the train of her dress while she posed for the waiting photographers.
Once on the Met Gala red carpet, he allowed her to take a solo moment in front of the cameras, before joining her for a few snaps.
Despite what has undoubtedly been a difficult few months for the heiress, she put on a very confident display as she arrived at the event, happily standing for pictures before she and Conner headed inside.
Behind the scenes however, things have been a bit less glamorous and star-studded, with Ivy calling it quits on her marriage to Toby just four years into their union, filing for divorce back in January, although the news was not made public until last month.
According to Page Six, the couple had in place a very strict prenup in order to protect Ivy's impressive family assets, with a source telling the publication: 'Obviously, being a member of the Getty family, Ivy is careful about legal entanglements.'
However that does not mean that things have been all smooth sailing; court documents revealed that it is a 'contested' divorce, although further details about the split and the legal complications surrounding it have not yet been shared.
Still, Ivy seems determined to put the past behind her, having made a splash at several major fashion events over the past few weeks, including a Carolina Herrera beauty bash with Karlie Kloss and a charity gala which was also attended by Emily Ratajkowski and Nicky Hilton.
Ivy and Toby first met through a family member and began dating not long after when they reunited at Paris Fashion Week. They then tied the knot in a small, intimate ceremony back in December 2020, before hosting a much more lavish affair in November of the following year at the Getty family's sprawling San Francisco mansion.
Her appearance at the event comes just months after Ivy filed for divorce from her husband Tobias 'Toby' Engel, who she wed in December 2020

At the time Ivy told Vogue, 'It’s just like everything I could have dreamed of and more. So it's wild when something so magical comes true because you've thought about it but didn’t actually think it would. Miracles happen.'
Among the guests at the A-list event were members of Ivy's family, including her aunt Vanessa Getty and her first cousin, transgender model and activist Nats Getty.
Also at the exclusive event was designer Wes Gordon, designer Mimi Wade, influencer Marta Mae, musician Petite Meller, fashion editor Hamish Bowles, activist Marsha Molinari, model Laura Hanson Sims, British TV host Fletcher Cowan, and filmmaker Christian Coppola.
Ivy is the great-granddaughter of oil tycoon Jean Paul Getty and granddaughter of Gordon Peter Getty, who was on the Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans before his passing.
Her father, John Gilbert, died of a fentanyl overdose and heart complications in 2020 at age 52.
Certainly the most eye-catching element of her ceremony was the dress she wore to the after party, which she said couldn't be designed by anyone other than John Galliano for Maison Margiela.
The dress had a corset the color of Ivy's skin tone, which was padded at the hips to make her waist look smaller. That was covered with tulle, which was then topped with mirror fragment dress wired together like jewelry.
'My grandmother always wore John Galliano’s designs,' Ivy told Vogue. 'My grandmother always admired him so it felt as if she was there with me during all of this.'
On the big day, she added Louboutin heels and her sapphire engagement ring, which she got when her husband proposed in Capri.
Getty's great-grandfather owned Getty Oil, and was once the richest man in the world. He is also famous for refusing to pay his grandson John Paul Getty III’s ransom of $17 million after he was kidnapped in the ’70s.
Eventually he paid $2.2 million after John's cut off ear was mailed to a newspaper in Rome.
The Getty family drama was most recently depicted in the 2018 FX TV show Trust.
