There is no other event in the world that generates so much expectation. There is no event in the world that receives more criticism and generates more controversy. The MET Gala (Metropolitan Museum of New York) is the great event of the year, and not only for the world of fashion. The first Monday in May is marked in red on the calendars of important people and no one says no to the invitation of Anna Wintour, the top boss of Vogue America. This event is held to raise funds for the museum and to promote the exhibition that opens after the gala, this time focused on the figure of Karl Lagerfeld and the ‘Karl’ style is the theme of the gala.
The event began to be held in 1948, and at first it was organized by Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, in turns. But since the mid-90s Vogue has been in charge alone and Anna Wintour has been the great promoter, always surrounded by the best advisers and with the great help of Harold Koda and Andrew Bolton, who act as curators at the exhibitions.
How is Karl’s style?
The kaiser of fashion had his own uniform: a black suit, a white shirt with a high collar, and a thin black tie. Also, she wore her hair in a ponytail with a black bow. A look copied, versioned, reinterpreted, customized and declined endlessly, both by his admirers and by designers from all over the world, who see in his figure an inexhaustible source of inspiration. The German adored Penelope Cruz and, through her, we have learned that they were very close by a close friendship and by the admiration they felt for one another. For this reason, the Spanish actress (she is an ambassador for the house of Chanel by decision of Lagerfeld), is one of the hostesses of this gala.
Who have been the best dressed?
Most of the guests do not understand the theme of the event or simply ‘pass’. This red carpet is a circus with several tracks and there are many designers who convince their muses to wear very flashy or daring looks, which in many cases border on the ridiculous. The guest list is huge and there is so much competition that only by attracting attention do they get a place in the press and on social media. Models like Kendall Jenner and actors like Jared Leto they are a good example.
