Per Vogue: Last night, on Monday, May 1, the 2023 Met Gala took place. This year’s Costume Institute exhibition, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” celebrates the full work and life of Karl Lagerfeld, so the dress code was, fittingly, “in honor of Karl.” As Lagerfeld designed for many houses—including his eponymous brand, Patou, Balmain, Chloé, Fendi, and Chanel—attendees had no shortage of inspiration.
Per me: man, that was a lot of black and white dedicated to a fan who was fairly terrible. Google if you want. He designed pretty dresses and had a beautiful cat (that will be important later).
Karl Lagerfeld and Choupette
Let’s get to the clothes.

I’m grouping all of the black and white. There’s just SO much of it.
If you’re still with me, here’s the best of the rest.
It’s ivory, not with. Love the hem. Standing out in red. Good move. Almost flapper. I’d love it with a different hem. Viola always stands out. Kate started with Karl and he said he hated pink — so I love this on her. Pink again. I don’t hate it. The boning is interesting. When I first glanced, I thought it was going to be Madonna. I’m so glad it was Donatella. Without the black bow, it would be a 10. I’ve always hated Nicole, buy I love this. It’s the dress from her 2005 Chanel No. 5 ad.I want to love this. The designer wasn’t noted, but Christian Siriano has been designing for her this year. I think a solid pink glove like the train would have been nice.
The meh.
The bad.
She threw pearls on a pair of Skimms. I had the impression the Kardashians were not invited this year. This is reason enough for next year. I had a Barbie with this dress. She was called Peaches and Cream Barbie. Noooooooooooo.Here’s a Sattelite Kardashian westing a cartoon dress. This is a lot of look.
Ok. This is horrendous. This is referencing the GORGEOUS gown below. They did it dirty.
This is the sheer embroidered fabric that comes to be draped on a color. Not nude on nude. “Do Chanel, but edgey.”Was this in Babylon? Stick a flower on it. I love Arisna, but this is not her yellow. And the fur. Nothing about this goes together. At all. Harvey, Harvey, Harvey. Love you on What We Do in the Shadows. This needs to stay in the shadows.
THE ABSOLUTE WORST. He didn’t have a designer, only Pat McGrath, the make up artist.
