Met Gala 2019 launched early in the morning with the theme Camp: Notes On Fashion, which simply asks the attendees to go for the most outrageous outfits. Benedict Cumberbatch is one of the celebrities that the internet could not stop talking about today. The Doctor Strange star wore an entirely white suit to the Met Gala 2019. But what caught the internet's attention was the fact that the actor was wearing the Time Stone as a necklace at the red carpet. Truth be told, it was not exactly the Time Stone, one of the infinity stones, from the popular Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. But the green coloured gem was worn by the actor certainly was a nod to his Avengers character and we think it was super cool.

In case you are wondering what are the real details of this stone worn by Benedict, here you go:
The 'time stone', Benedict Cumberbatch wore at #MetGala2019, is a vintage nosegay brooch from around 1965, (most likely) lent by Verdura for the occasion. Made of peridot, diamond and platinum in 18k yellow gold it's worth $46,500. 😱 pic.twitter.com/wxKuU2tccu

In the recently released, Avengers: Endgame, Benedict's character Doctor Strange played a huge role. His character and the Time Stone were instrumental in putting Endgame into action in the movie Infinity War. His character also makes a roaring return in the climax of Endgame.
