Met Gala guests race for vintage Karl Lagerfeld

Attendees want memorable creations by the late Chanel designer — but sourcing them is a competitive business

This year’s Met Gala, held on May 1, was a tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld, a complicated figure in fashion who was known for his devotion to his cat Choupette (more than one kitty homage prowled the Met red carpet), his habitual black-and-white uniform, and his years of designing for numerous fashion houses, most notably Chanel from 1983 until his death in 2019. Two of my favorite looks were actually vintage Lagerfeld, elegantly recycled. Dua Lipa, a co-chair of the event, wore a beautifully fitted 1992 Lagerfeld-for-Chanel tweed bridal gown (alas, she skipped the small matching boater hat worn by Claudia Schiffer for the dress’s debut). Vanessa Kirby wore a replica of a witty 1983 Lagerfeld-for-Chloe gown (the original is in the Met exhibit), whose elegant beading along the back depicts a showerhead. The world’s most glamorous showerhead, for sure.
