Roses from Irina Shayk or crystals from Nicole Kidman: the best images of the stars at the Met Gala 2023, dedicated to Karl Lagerfeld

In good tradition, we broadcast from the Met Gala 2023 Costume Institute ball, which has been transforming rapidly for more than 75 years at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which is almost one of the main fashion events of the year. from a charity dinner to a world-class fashion event. With the participation of a truly unprecedented star, of course.

In 2023, the event, rightly called “Oscar” in the fashion world, was marked by the bright headline “Karl Lagerfeld: The Beauty Line” and became a real tribute to the legacy of the master. By the way, Rich with a capital “B”. The designer’s portfolio includes Fashion Houses such as Balmain, Chloé, Fendi and Chanel, of which the fashion designer is once again proud. It was he who made the tweed absolute and began to skillfully create from it not only jackets, but also suits, dresses, bombers and even sneakers – before joining Chanel in 1983, only doctors’ wives wore the boring clothes of the brand.

Finally, we owe the combination of a dress and sneakers and a new era of sports chic to her – we still remember the appearance of Cara Delevingne at the spring-summer show of the French House in 2013, when the model appeared on the catwalk. A couture wedding dress pairs well with sneakers. And yes, 2023 will definitely be Karl Lagerfeld’s year. After all, in addition to the fully devoted master of the Met Gala, the documentary film “The Mysterious Mr. Lagerfeld” was recently released in his honor and praise, and in June, the Karl Lagerfeld Hotel will open in Macau, China.

The fashion critics who spearheaded this year’s prom agreed that today’s event would be the oldest of its predecessors. And they were absolutely right. One of the first in this matter managed to cut the ribbon of Dua Lipa – the singer appeared on the red carpet in a white corset dress with a fluffy skirt, in the outfit that Claudia Schiffer flaunted at Chanel’s autumn-winter show. Special Design 1992/1993.

Naomi Campbell chose the same strategy with an old Chanel sequined satin dress from 2010 – it certainly doesn’t look trivial. And Nicole Kidman decided to absolutize the idea, and the 2004 Chanel No. She appeared on the runway in a pale pink dress from The French House, in which she starred in the 5 commercial. For a moment it was embroidered with 250 ostrich feathers and 3000 crystals and sequins.

That’s right – a good ball vector is placed right on the shore. Powerful and fundamental stars are delighted with concise and pastel images – take at least the outfits of Irina Shayk, Penelope Cruz, Anne Hathaway, Maya Hawk, model Imaan Hammam and singer Ava Max, who drew some kind of wedding line for the event. And we were just happy with such dynamics, because since 2017 the famous outfits at the Met Gala began to turn into full-fledged nonsense for the simple effect of virality on social networks. And here there is no fashion smell as we know it.

By the way, not without love. So the most stylish couple of the night was definitely Robert Pattinson with Suki Waterhouse. The model’s nude floral embroidered dress perfectly complements the actress’s navy blue suit with a gold brooch instead of the usual butterfly. We are completely silent about Robert’s black boots with rhinestones. Best male image awards go to Eddie Redmayne and rapper Bad Bunny, who reimagine classic masculinity in a modern (and elegant) way.

The classic black monochrome that Karl loved so much in his own wardrobe was obviously voted on by Margot Robbie, Gigi Hadid, Rita Ora and model Vittoria Ceretti. To punctuate the i’s, Jessica Chastain rhymed the look with huge sunglasses, a precious accessory for which Lagerfeld’s role would be unthinkable.

One of the main muses of the master, Cara Delevingne, decided to implement a similar idea – confirming the painfully familiar hair color. And Nicola Peltz, Devon Aoki and Cardi B have placed winning bets on another designer’s favorite technique, the solid combination of black and white. And, of course, without El Fanning in the image of a runaway bride – a worthy emphasis on tenderness, without a hint of mothballs.

Making her debut on the red carpet on horseback, Doja Cat was an undeniable sensation. The rapper, wrapped in paper, was literally kicked out of the hotel. And it’s no coincidence: Dodge perfectly replaced Karl Lagerfeld’s cat, who was not at the prom and reincarnated as Choupette – a train of makeup and a long white dress to match the heir’s gorgeous tail. And again a few figures: It took 3,500 glass beads and 5,000 hours of crafting to create her outfit. Moreover, even Jared Leto failed to outshine the rapper, who suddenly rushed to the red carpet in a “full-fledged” pet costume. Summary: No wonder Doja Cat is the full-fledged queen of Couture Fashion Week at the start of the year.

And finally, we have identified a trio of stars in the category “On the verge of beauty” – their outfit for the event can only be described by the word “beautiful”. Of course, in a good way. Everything about Anok Yai, Jennifer Lopez, and Florence Pugh’s outfits is good – the perfectly placed accents and even a certain theatricality that will definitely come through when the influencers add an extra bit of detail to the images.

And yes, of the Kardashian-Jenner family, only Kylie Jenner’s younger sister made it into the best-dressed selection. The answer is simple: Kim and Kendall, who were likewise invited to the Met Gala, just lost in terms of extreme detail and theatricality. And the following stars – it’s not possible: We do not share less successful pictures of celebrities who pursue the above.
