The biggest night of Fashion is back in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. A new month brought new looks and a new Met Gala to add to the books. The theme this year was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. The famous fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld passed away in 2019, so organizers of the Met Gala decided to host the theme in his honor and to pay tribute to his work in the Fashion Industry.
Lagerfeld was always known for his elegance, the beauty in simplicity, and the extravagance. The signature look he always wore was a black and white suit and tie, black sunglasses, and a low ponytail, holding his fluffy pampered cat, Choupette.
When you think Karl Lagerfeld, think chic, elegant, classy diamonds and pearls. Let's see which celebrities made it to the list and who stayed in theme for the 2023 Met Gala. It is now time to talk couture!
