Share to Google Classroom

The fashion world has come together in New York City for the highly anticipated Met Gala, an annual event known for its incredible fashion and star-studded guest list. This year, the theme is the late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld, and attendees have pulled out all the stops to pay tribute to the legendary designer.

The gala, which is an invitation-only fundraiser for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, drew in around 400 guests who all arrived dressed to impress. The event showcased some of the most extravagant outfits of the year, with a focus on pearls, starched collars, and a black and white color scheme to honor Lagerfeld’s signature style.

The designer’s beloved cat, Choupette, was also given a special mention at the event, with at least two celebrities dressing up as the feline in tribute. Lagerfeld was known for his love of his cat, who was often seen by his side at events and even had her own social media following.

The Met Gala has become an iconic event in the fashion industry, bringing together the biggest names in entertainment and fashion to showcase the most incredible designs. This year’s tribute to Karl Lagerfeld was a fitting celebration of his legacy, and we can’t wait to see what next year’s event will bring.
