Celebrities attended 2023 Met Gala wearing Karl Lagerfeld (archival) couture.

• Model Alton Mason attended The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2023 Met Gala, also known as The Costume Institute Benefit, wearing KARL LAGERFELD couture.
  

Alton’s white lace jumpsuit was inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s vision for a fairytale wedding and the “bride” look he often created to close out his fashion shows. Crafted from featherweight chiffon veil, the jumpsuit features a beaded lace corset, further accentuated by a strong shoulder silhouette and built-in fingerless gloves. The sweetheart neckline was inspired by a jacket sourced from Karl Lagerfeld’s personal design archives.

Alton’s look was custom created for the Met Gala by KARL LAGERFELD Design Director Hun Kim.

• Supermodel, actress and activist Amber Valletta attended The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2023 Met Gala wearing KARL LAGERFELD couture.

The gown was custom created by KARL LAGERFELD Design Director Hun Kim. In consultation together with Amber, they were inspired by the fan accessory that Karl Lagerfeld was known to always carry with him in the ‘80s and ‘90s.

The body of the gown features an elegant fan-shaped top and skirt, with deep cutouts on the waist for a feminine silhouette. The sunburst-style design is crafted from pleated white mesh, with black beaded over-pleats. A detachable, pleated silksatin cape adds to the goddess-like effect.

• Actor Brian Tyree Henry attended The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2023 Met Gala wearing KARL LAGERFELD couture.
  

Brian’s outfit was custom created by KARL LAGERFELD Design Director Hun Kim, whose vision was inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s iconic white shirt.

Brian wore a Mao collar shirt with voluminous sleeves, draped over an exposed shoulder jacket and duchess satin pants. The look was topped with multiple layers of pearl necklaces and finished with a chiffon stitched multi-layer cape.

• Model, and actress Cara Delevingne attended The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2023 Met Gala wearing KARL LAGERFELD couture.
  

Created by Hun Kim, Design Director of the Maison KARL LAGERFELD, Cara’s look reimagines Karl Lagerfeld’s white shirt into an outspoken shirtdress. Crafted from 100% Swiss fine cotton with a natural stretch, the silhouette is topped with pleated bib details and a dramatic train stretching 3 meters (10 feet) from top to bottom. Cara accessorized with thigh-high, boot-effect black leather leggings and black fingerless gloves.

The look was inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s quintessential white shirt, which he frequently wore in public as part of his signature tuxedo-dressing look, and at home while sketching or relaxing. He was also known to enjoy reinventing white shirts by using the same fabric.
