Usually, when two stars where the same dress on the red carpet, it’s a huge fiasco. When two celebrities wear the same dress to the Met Gala, on the other hand, it’s something else altogether: a true vintage fashion moment. So is the case on the Met Gala 2023 red carpet, where Olivia Wilde and Margaret Zhang—the Editor-in-chief of Vogue China—both attended in matching black and white gowns. Tonight's theme is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," with every person on the carpet paying homage to the iconic designer in one way or another.
The dresses in question are replicas of Chloe’s infamous vintage guitar dress, designed by Karl Lagerfeld while he designed for the brand. The original version of the dress appeared on the runway in black and hits just below the knee as a cocktail dress, and is actually currently on display in the Met’s collection this year. It appeared as a part of Chloe’s spring 1983’s collection, which was inspired entirely by music.
