Met Gala: All the looks to match 2023's Karl Lagerfeld-inspired theme (PHOTOS)

May 2 2023, 2:24 pm

The Met Gala is synonymous with celebrity royalty… Familiar famous faces show up and step out in almost ceremonial-like attire for what is considered one of the biggest social and fashion nights of the year.

Last night’s event, hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, paid homage to the former head of fashion houses, including Chanel and Fendi — late German fashion designer and legend Karl Lagerfeld. Credited with reviving Chanel, the influential designer, who also ran his eponymous label and produced multiple equally impressive collections at an ungraspable rate, was a celebrated figure not shy of controversy. 

Not surprisingly, the 2023 Met Gala theme, Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, marked the opening of the museum’s exhibition of the same name, spurring stars to channel their innermost imaginative selves. Doja Cat went as far as stylishly channelling Lagerfeld’s beloved cat, Choupette, while Jeremy Pope rocked the red carpet with a monumental 30 ft cape sporting the designer’s most classic look.

In case you missed it, here are the top looks from the night.
