Stella played a game with her Instagram followers as their faces were obscured by the gold covering, asking: 'Can you guess my Met date?... #GoldenGirls x Stella.'
Naomi, 48, joked, 'I didn't get the memo', as she was pictured arriving in a polka dot summer dress while the pair were still in their robes.
