Global fashion and showbiz stars flocked to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s red carpet on Monday evening to pay tribute to the memory of designer Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019. This year again, the stars did not skimp on extravagant outfits . For this 2023 edition of the Met Gala, they paid tribute to fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019. The gala also opens the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibition, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”, which celebrates the work and life of the German designer.
The Met Gala in New York is one of the most selective dinners on the planet. At the forefront of the many guest stars, Rihanna arrived on the arm of her husband, American rapper A$AP Rocky, wearing a sumptuous wedding dress by Valentino. Her hooded coat, once removed, revealed her rounded belly of a future mother.
African celebrities have also followed one another on the red carpet, such as singers Burna Boy and Tems or South Sudanese models Adok Yai and Adut Akech.
All respected the theme of this 2023 edition, a tribute to the capital career of Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019. The Kaiser, who said he was “total improvisation”, a free creative soul who only followed his instincts.
Naomi Campbell, one of his relatives, remembers “an incredible man, with the wittiest sense of humor, the most intelligent. He was a great man and I will always be grateful to him”.
In the quirky tribute category, Choupette, the cat of the late creator inspired actor Jared Leto but also the aptly named Doja Cat or the ever so crazy Montero Lamar Hill, alias Lil Nas X.
Equally extravagant, the dress signed Thom Browne by Janelle Monae or the one worn by Yung Miami alongside Puff Daddy, in a black that Lagerfeld would not have denied.
Difficult to recognize Erykha Badu veiled in immaculate white while Viola Davis, the heroine of The Woman King, had chosen pink to end this evening of excess in style.
