It was a night of glitz, glamour and wild sartorial selections as Hollywood’s most fashionable stars descended on the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday for the Met Gala.
The theme of the evening’s annual fundraiser, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” was dedicated to the late fashion designer, who died in 2019. (The theme faced significant pushback from the fashion industry due to Lagerfeld’s occasional problematic views.
He was known to make quips that were misogynistic, racist and fatphobic.) Despite the backlash, Lagerfeld’s contributions to fashion have been plentiful and attendees had no shortage of inspiration.
He designed not only for his eponymous brand, but also worked with prominent fashion houses Chanel, Fendi, Balmain, Patou and Chloé.
