The biggest night in fashion certainly did not disappoint in delivering some shocking moments from A-listers
Of course, Met Gala and Karl Lagerfeld together ought to go down in fashion history as one to remember.
This year’s theme, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”, came with the dress code ‘in honour of Karl’. It was open for interpretation, and one of the most fun parts of fashion’s night of nights is watching A-listers ascend the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York wearing their own versions of the theme. As expected, celebrities and fashion icons delivered breathtaking looks, mostly in white and black, as an ode to Lagerfeld’s era of Chanel.
