Beyonce and Kim Kardashian West sported see-through dresses to the 2015 Met Gala.

The 'Crazy In Love' hitmaker and the reality TV star weren't afraid to show some skin as they hit the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, with Beyonce, 33, donning a sheer, gold Givenchy gown with nothing but intricate beading detail to protect her modesty.

The blonde beauty, who attended the annual event with her husband Jay Z, wore her locks scraped back into a high pony tail which fell in curls to her shoulder.

Meanwhile, Kim, 34, opted for a daring, white, Peter Dundas for Roberto Cavalli number which was inspired by the embellished feathered creation Cher wore to the Gala in 1974.

The raven-haired beauty – who arrived with her spouse, rapper Kanye West – later took to Instagram to share a photograph of herself with the 'Believe' hitmaker after bumping into her at the event.

She wrote: “Tonight's inspiration! Cher at the 1st ever Met Gala! I just met her and told her this photo was my inspiration for my dress tonight! She is so beautiful! So happy I met her!”

She captioned a throwback photo of Cher wearing the gown: “This beauty, this icon! I'm so so happy I met her!!!! We spoke about our amazing Armenian journeys! And that Bob Mackie gown she wore to the Met 1974.(sic)”

In contrast to Kim's revealing look, Rihanna turned heads in a voluminous yellow cape by Chinese couture designer Guo Pei.

The 'Rude Boy' singer, who finished off her eye-catching outfit with silver heals and a headdress, struggled to make it into the event in the extravagant garment and had to be helped up the stairs by three aids.

Even though Vogue magazine’s US editor Anna Wintour had instituted a “no selfies” rule for the exclusive event, Kim defied the ban by posting a selection of selfies with stars including Lady Gaga, Madonna and producer Diplo before sharing a shot of her famous derriere walking alongside Jennifer Lopez, who was also trying out the sheer trend in a red, Atelier Versace dress.

Wintour’s note prior to the ball read: “The use of phones for photography and social media will not be permitted inside the gala.”

However, many celebrities ignored the ruling. Justin Bieber was reportedly the first to break the rule, posing for a snap with supermodel Cara Delevingne shortly after arriving.

Madonna also threw caution to the wind by sharing a variety of photos with her 3.7 million Instagram followers, including one with fellow female singers Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.

Captioning the picture, she wrote: “Girls night out.......... Kissing the Ring........Finally!#metball (sic).”

Reposting the shot on her own account, Katy Perry joked: “dropping our single tomorrow #stolethispicfromM#MONSTERCATREBELHEARTS (sic).”
