The ultimate guide to every Karl Lagerfeld reference and archival look at the MetGala:
Celebrities largely fell into one of two camps when it came to following the “In Honor of Karl” dress code at last night’s Met Gala: either they went into the vault and plucked one of the designer’s many archival creations from the houses where he worked—among them Patou, Chloé, Fendi, Balmain, and of course, Chanel—With so many Karl-isms to choose from—fingerless gloves, white pointy collars, black sunglasses—guests paid tribute to him via some or a combination of his different style cues.
Blackpink’s Jennie was the last Chanel ambassador to be handpicked by Lagerfeld before his passing. For her first-ever Met Gala, the K-pop star wore a white minidress with a black sash and white camelia flower, a reinterpretation of a Chanel fall 1990 look.Penelope Cruz in Vintage 1988 Chanel Often overshadowed by Lagerfeld’s Chanel era, his Chloé days were deeply significant in their own right . His most celebrated looks from this period were those which reflected his surrealist streak at that time, chief among them a robe violin look from spring 1983 which Chloé recreated for Olivia Wilde. The original version of the dress is on view in the “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” exhibition at the Met’s Costume Institute.
