DIANA Ross stunned at the Met Gala in a jaw-dropping 18-foot-long gown that had an extra special meaning hidden in the details of the look.

Diana, 81, collaborated with her son, actor Evan Ross, and Nigerian designer Ugo Mozie, to create the spectacle that celebrates her own family legacy.
The Grammy-winner stunned in a marvelous white feathered gown that was layered with dazzling silver jewels.
The dress had crystals and beads hand-sewn on it, as did Diana’s matching wide-brim hat.
It was the sweeping train that stole the show, though covering nearly the entire width of the red carpet and coming in at a whopping 18 feet long.

The nearly 20-foot-long train had a hidden detail that paid homage to her family.
The gorgeous piece was embroidered in silver crystals with all of the names of her children and grandchildren.
Among the embroidered names are her own kids – Rhonda, Chudney, Evan, and Tracee Ellis Ross – who also attended tonight.
Her eight grandchildren, Raif, Callaway, Everlee, Leif, Indigo, Jagger, Bronx, and Ziggy, were also included on the fashion showstopper.

As Diana made her way down the carpet, the massive train took up a large portion of the carpet.
The long train covered many of the steps as she made her way up the infamously long corridor.
Tonight marks the fifth time Diana has attended the prestigious Met Gala.
The first year she attended was back in 1978 alongside fashion powerhouse designer, Halston.
One of her most memorable looks came in 2003 when she brought her signature glamor and wore a flowing red Gucci dress.
Diana’s daughter, Tracee, 52, was also in attendance tonight and wore custom Marc Jacobs.
On the red carpet, Tracee admitted that her goal of the evening was to “go inside and see my mama.”
