Notably, Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss made waves on the red carpet as they both announced their pregnancies. Williams, 41, looked radiant in a black mermaid gown designed by Gucci, which featured silver edging and multiple strings of pearls around her neck. Her husband proudly placed his hand on her growing bump, making it clear that there were “three of us” on the carpet. Kloss, 30, wore a stunning black gown designed by Northern Irish designer Jonathan Anderson, which also featured Lagerfeld’s signature strings of pearls. Rihanna also made headlines with her extravagant bridal-inspired look featuring Lagerfeld’s favorite flower, camellias, as she took to the carpet with her partner, ASAP Rocky. Other noteworthy moments from the evening included singer Doja Cat channeling Lagerfeld’s beloved pet cat Choupette with prosthetics and cat ears and actress Florence Pugh debuting her freshly shaved head, crowned with a towering black feathered headpiece. The dress code of the evening, hosted at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, was “In honour of Karl,” in tribute to the late Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld. Vogue editor-in-chief and Met Gala co-chair, Dame Anna Wintour, paid tribute to Lagerfeld, describing him as “the chicest designer that you can ever imagine.” Overall, the evening was a feast for the eyes with its stunning fashion, inspiring creativity, and exciting pregnancy announcements from Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss.
