And here we thought the only awkward Olivia Wilde Met Gala run-in would be with Emily Ratajkowski, given that EmRata and Harry Styles smooch back in March. But the red-carpet awkwardness came not from romantic drama but from a major fashion faux pas: the Don't Worry Darling director arrived to the Met Gala 2023 wearing the same outfit as another attendee.
Wilde showed up to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, May 1, in a capped-sleeved, floor-length white gown with side cut-outs and gold beading embellishments in the shape of a violin across the front of the dress. The original Chloé design, the work of the brand's creative director Gabriela Hearst, was inspired by a spring 1983 design that Karl Lagerfeld had crafted while he was helming the French fashion house. (This year's Met Gala theme, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," honors the late designer, who died in 2019 at the age of 85.)
