She’s no stranger to swanky red carpet shindigs, and last night (May 6) Nicole Richie showed up at the 2013 Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The “Fashion Star” babe selected a custom Topshop getup for the affair, working the arrivals area like a seasoned pro.

But most notable was Nicole’s grayish-white coif, credited to her hairstylist Luke Chamberlain who called it “an elevated, next level of punk.”

And given that the theme of the MET Gala was “Punk: Chaos to Couture,” it sounds like Ms. Richie fit right in!
