NEW YORK — A red carpet ceremony for the Met Gala in New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art has come to an end with the official closing of the red carpet that happened on May 1st 2023.
Regardless of the extent to which the event honors Karl Lagerfeld's legacy, the evening was really about raising money for The Met's Costume Institute in order to support the exhibition, titled "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty." The event celebrated Lagerfeld's eponymous line, whose designs were worn by Chanel, Fendi, and the late designer himself.
The red carpet spectacle that was held as guests walked up the famous Met steps was as important as the exhibition itself, of course, as it revealed a star-studded array of guests. Despite the fact that the Met Gala has often been dubbed the "Super Bowl of fashion," the event has contributed quite a few memorable (and even viral) celebrity red carpet ensembles over these last few decades.
In honor of Lagerfeld, this year's A-list guests were asked to dress "in honor of Karl" and we saw the most amazing outfits that were inspired by the designer's signature design characteristics. Some of these outfits featured Chanel tweeds and his own black-and-white uniforms.
