The Met Gala has returned and this year, celebrities were asked to dress “in honour of Karl” – ie, Karl Lagerfeld, the fashion designer and former Chanel creative director, who died in 2019.
Anna Wintour, who oversees the event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, welcomed Roger Federer, Michaela Coel, Penélope Cruz, and Dua Lipa as her co-chairs. The benefit accompanies the Met’s Costume Institute’s fashion exhibit “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”, which opens to the public on 5 May.
