![]() ![]() Goddess like: Fashion veteran Naomi, 52, who marked her 16th gala, wore a one-shouldered gown from Chanel's 2010 spring/summer collection Kendall Jenner brought some flirty sex-appeal to the evening, with a ‘cheeky’ Marc Jacobs black sequined bodysuit finished with a Karl-esque silver high collar, dramatic cape ‘winged’ sleeves, statement black platform boots and not a lot else.Ĭardi B’s characteristic larger than life take on the iconic tuxedo look was a corseted monochrome Chenpeng Studio gown emblazoned with black roses and complemented with a long silver wig and black headband, which gave us all the goth-rock Cinderella vibes, but perhaps my favorite of the ‘lets dress up like Karl looks’ was Teyana Taylor, who wore a sparkling silver Thom Browne gown masquerading as one of the designer's iconic suits, accented with silver gloves, collar and tie and alluring flirty fascinator - for me this was the perfect combination of meeting the theme without compromising on glamour or style. ![]() Some of the women also got the ‘copy Karl memo’, Kristen Stewart looked typically androgynous in an oversized Chanel suit accessorised to perfection with matching loafers, double c belt and fat black tie, perfectly embodying Chanel’s ‘total look’ for which Karl and the design house are famous. Some Met Gala guests kept their tribute to Lagerfeld simple by wearing a tuxedo in line with his own personal style (pictured: Kristen Stewart) With Karl and his work as their muse, designers somewhat predictably plumped for the achingly-cool monochrome palette of black and white upon which to base their looks last night which looked chic, but lacked the ‘fabulous factor ‘ with which the event is normally synonymous. He was rarely seen without his dark glasses, slick ponytail, starched white collar and fingerless gloves. With his ‘Edwardian meets goth’ aesthetic, Karl was instantly recognisable - and his iconic visage was emblazoned across everything from handbags to T-shirts in his time. The outfits are planned weeks if not months in advance and this year were paying homage to the late industry legend and innovator Karl Lagerfeld, the theme being ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A line of beauty’.Īs Creative Director of Chanel from 1983 until his death in 2019 as well as being instrumental in the fortunes of other behemoths such as Fendi and Chloe, Karl was as famed for his indelible influence on the fashion world as he was for his unmistakable appearance which also made him a fashion icon in his own right. The iconic red carpet covering the steps of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art was a sea of monochrome last night, as the great and the good for the fashion world, together with the most noteworthy celebrities gathered to celebrate the opening of the latest Spring Exhibition at the Museum’s Costume Institute, at what is always the most anticipated fashion spectacle of the year. ![]()
