PARIS, France - The MET GALA 2023 was a night to remember, as stars all over the world gathered to celebrate the legacy of Karl Lagerfeld, the legendary designer who passed away in 2019. The theme of the event was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”, and the guest paid tribute to his iconic style and influence in various ways. Some wore pieces from his collections for Balmain, Patou, Chloe, Fendi, and Chanel, and his own label, while others interpreted his signature elements such as tweed, pearls, safety pins, and black-and-white contrast. Here are some of the celebrities who stood out on the red carpet with their stunning outfits and accessories.
Jennifer Lopez
The singer and actress turned heads in a pale pink satin and black velvet Ralph Lauren Collection gown with a dramatic hat that covered her face. She added some sparkle with Piferi platforms and Harry Winston diamonds. The look was reminiscent of Lagerfeld’s love for Western-inspired fashion and his collaboration with Chane’s Métiers d’Art.
Anne Hathaway
The Oscar-winning actress looked radiant in a custom Atelier Versace gown made of tweed and held together with pearl-embellished safety pins. She completed the look with Versace shoes and jewelry by Cartier. The gown was inspired by Lagerfeld’s reinvention of tweed for Chanel and his use of safety pins as punk-chic details.
Gisele Bundchen
The supermodel returned to the MET GALA red carpet without her longtime plus-one Tom Brady in an angelic Chanel Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2007 gown with a full feathered cape. She also accessories by the brand, including earrings, rings, and a clutch. The gown was a homage to Lagerfeld’s mastery of haute couture and his feather creation for Chanel.
Serena Williams
The tennis superstar announced that she’s expecting her second baby right before hitting the red carpet in a black Gucci gown with a white train and cuffs. She also wore pearl jewelry by Tiffany & Co. The gown was a reference to Lagerfeld’s affinity for black-and-white contrast and his collaboration with Gucci.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky
The power couple made a grand entrance in matching Gucci outfits, with ASAP Rocky wearing a suit jacket, jeans and a plaid skirt, and Rihanna wearing a full-coverage gown with a rosette-embellished hooded bodice and a ballgown skirt. They both accessorized with Boucheron jewels and showed off their chemistry and charisma.
