Karl Lagerfeld's great legacy was celebrated at the Met Gala 2023 fashion, so it's not surprising that many of the night's A-list guests chose to wear outfits that paid tribute to his work. The best-dressed people were those who found their own way to respect a signature Lagerfeld look, whether it was the use of pearls, bows, and tweeds in many of his collections or Karl's own style, which he showed off with slim ties, crisp shirts, and blazers. About 400 people went to the Costume Institute's event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which was only open to people who had been invited.
The red carpet for the 2023 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has come to an end. The theme for this year is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," which is a tribute to the late fashion designer's long and successful career.
Lagerfeld had a career that covered decades and fashion houses. He often went to the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and has been a supporter of the Met Gala for a long time.
Lagerfeld designed for luxury brands like Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi, and Chanel, where he was creative director from 1983 until his death at age 85 in 2019. He also started his own label, Karl Lagerfeld, in 1984. His legacy lives on in his collections and gives Met Gala attendees a lot of ideas for what to wear.
