IT’S affectionately referred to as “fashion’s biggest night out,” and last night’s Met Gala did not disappoint, as guests hit the steps of New York’s Metropolitan
Museum of Art in looks that ranged from divine to outright deranged. This year’s theme, Karl Lagerfeld: a Line of Beauty, celebrated the life and work of the fashion designer who died in February 2019 at the age of 85.
With a tenure that included positions at the top of brands like Chloe, Fendi, Balmain, Chanel and his own eponymous label, there was much archive material (150 key pieces of which will comprise the Museum’s annual fashion exhibition, which opens on May 5) for the 200 celebrity guests to mine. Here’s what went down.
Mining the Chanel archives
Among the best tributes were those that referenced, re-wore or reworked looks from 90s Chanel, an era in which Lagerfeld played triumphantly with the codes of the French house. Fresh from headlining Coachella, Blackpink’s Jennie Kim made her Met debut in a reinterpretation of look 164 from Lagerfeld’s fall 1990 ready-to-wear collection, created for her by the Chanel team. One of the last Chanel muses to be picked by Lagerfeld, Kim kept it cute in a white bustier mini with a black ribbon bodice adorned with a simple white camellia and matching flower in her hair. Margot Robbie, meanwhile, sparked rumours that she’s still locked in her Chanel contract when she arrived in a chic if unadventurous sheer black bustier and skirt first debuted by Cindy Crawford on the Chanel 1993 runway in Paris.
