He’s designed spaceships and electric cars and now it seems tech billionaire Elon Musk can add fashion designer to his CV.

Musk made his first official debut with new girlfriend Grimes on the Met Gala red carpet on Monday night.

And the Canadian musician was wearing a gothic, futuristic outfit that, according to US Weekly, the couple designed together over a dinner date.

Just in case anyone was unclear where Grimes’ (née Claire Elise Boucher) loyalties lay, she accessorised her outfit with a large metal Tesla logo choker.

Yup that’s right, a vast spiky T-shaped metal tribute to her new boyfriend’s electric vehicle empire.

The curious couple, who reportedly began their romance after sharing an AI joke on Twitter a month ago, wore coordinating monochrome ensembles.

Tesla CEO Musk, who broke up with Amber Heard in February after almost a year together, wore a white jacket and reverse dog collar, accessorised with a pin featuring the logo of his electric car corporation.

Grimes meanwhile opted for a white marbled high-cut corset that fed into a short, feathered skirt, with a long overlaid black train and knee-high black lace-up platform boots. The 30-year-old visual artist wore her long, black hair in a dishevelled half-updo, and her lips messily stained a deep berry.

The bold statement soon caused a social media furore, with one shrewd Twitter user pointing out that the choker was “the modern version of Angelina Jolie wearing Billy Bob Thornton's blood in a vial around her neck.”

While Grimes might not have made our Met Gala best dressed list, we take our hat off to her very public show of dedication to her new boyfriend.
