The annual Met Gala fundraiser takes place Monday night in New York City. This year's theme pays tribute to desiger Karl Lagerfeld, who has a controversial legacy in the fashion industry.
This evening, the worlds of fashion, celebrity and high society will convene at the Met Gala, one of the most anticipated red carpet events of the year, wearing dependably extravagant outfits inspired by this year's dress code -- "In honor of Karl."
The world’s most fashionable fundraiser is taking on one of the world’s most prolific — and controversial — designers, the late Karl Lagerfeld, as the starry party’s theme.
The designer was known not only for haute couture, but for his myriad controversies surrounding comments he made about women, immigrants and other marginalized groups.
Fashion's party of the year is finally here -- A-listers are set to celebrate the late king of couture, Karl Lagerfeld, at Monday's annual Met Gala, whose red carpet annually serves as the ultimate spectacle…
The theme of this year's Met Gala is not a brand or a concept, but a person: Karl Lagerfeld. The designer, who died in 2019 at age 85, was known almost as much for his designs as he was for his own celebrity.
"He was so funny and so kind," said Salma Hayek, a former neighbor of the late designer's in Paris, while Baz Luhrmann and Pierce Brosnan were among the stars who shared anecdotes about both the man and his style at the 2023 Met Gala.
From metallic outfits to cats, with a few capes thrown in for good measure: Welcome to the Met Gala. Meanwhile, the decision to pay homage to the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld did not come without criticism.
