It was an evening of glitz, glamour and wild sartorial picks as Hollywood’s most trendy stars descended on the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday for the Met Gala.
The theme of the night’s annual fundraiser, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” was devoted to the late designer, who died in 2019.
(The theme confronted vital pushback from the style trade attributable to Lagerfeld’s occasional problematic views. He was identified to make quips that had been misogynistic, racist and fatphobic.)
Despite the backlash, Lagerfeld’s contributions to trend have been plentiful and attendees had no scarcity of inspiration. He designed not just for his eponymous model, but in addition labored with outstanding trend homes Chanel, Fendi, Balmain, Patou and Chloé.
The consequence was a feast of memorable moments with Anne Hathaway and Janelle Monáe offering significantly notable ensembles. Bad Bunny and Rihanna additionally turned out odes to Parisian trend.
As anticipated, a number of stars took inspiration from Lagerfeld’s beloved feline, Choupette. Doja Cat arrived in a high-fashion, glittering look impressed by the white cat, whereas others like Jared Leto took a way more literal — and furrier — method.
There was even a little bit of drama on the carpet this 12 months, with each actor and director Olivia Wilde and Vogue China’s editor-in-chief, Margaret Zhang, arriving in the identical gown designed by Chloé.
The actual enjoyable of the Met Gala, no less than for non-attendees, is judging the style of all of Hollywood’s greatest celebs. There was a particular type of irony this 12 months as viewers around the globe tuned in carrying sweatpants to look at an occasion in honour of the designer who notoriously despised the loungewear. (Lagerfeld as soon as stated, “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat.”)
