The 2023 Met Gala, held in New York, was a tribute to the work of Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019 at the age of 85. Numerous muses of the legendary fashion designer honored his memory by choosing outfits “in honor of Karl,” who worked over the years in such fashion houses as Balmain, Chloé, Fendi, Chanel, as well as in his own label Karl Lagerfeld. The main colors of the images were white and black, the precious stones were pearls, and the details were high collars.

24-year-old Italian model Vittoria Ceretti not only took part in the House show, but was also the permanent face of Chanel beauty collections in recent years. Karl Lagerfeld considered this Italian his muse and always gave her the most minimalist dresses to show off, believing that her beauty did not need decoration.

At the opening day of the exhibition “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, opening to the public on Friday, May 5, Carla Bruni said:
Carl was a universally curious person. He was interested in everything except mediocrity. I know deep down that Carl hasn’t really left. As if he is about to enter the room, followed by his royal procession… I often imagine him watching us from somewhere above, perhaps even mocking us for honoring his life’s work in the museum, something we all know he would definitely scoff at. Everyone knows the character of Karl Lagerfeld, his sharp tongue and the aura that surrounded him. But everyone who approached him knows that behind this armor of the image there was also a very kind heart.

A striking look at the 2023 Met Gala was showcased by 25-year-old fashion model Elton Mason, who wore a white jumpsuit with a lace veil. In 2018, Karl Lagerfeld invited Mason to walk in the Chanel Métiers d’art show, making him the first black male model to walk for the fashion brand in 108 years since its founding.
