It was an evening of glitz, glamour and wild sartorial alternatives as Hollywood’s most trendy stars descended on the Metropolitan Museum of Artwork in New York Metropolis on Monday for the Met Gala.
The theme of the night’s annual fundraiser, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Magnificence,” was devoted to the late designer, who died in 2019.
(The theme confronted important pushback from the style business as a result of Lagerfeld’s occasional problematic views. He was identified to make quips that had been misogynistic, racist and fatphobic.)
Regardless of 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 additionally labored with outstanding trend homes Chanel, Fendi, Balmain, Patou and Chloé.

The end result 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 — strategy.
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 costume designed by Chloé.
The true enjoyable of the Met Gala, not less than for non-attendees, is judging the style of all of Hollywood’s largest celebs. There was a particular sort of irony this 12 months as viewers world wide tuned in carrying sweatpants to observe an occasion in honour of the designer who notoriously despised the loungewear. (Lagerfeld as soon as stated, “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat.”)
Whether or not you’re carrying sweatpants or not, let’s spherical up a few of the most enjoyable, elegant and outrageous seems of the night time.
