Dubbed the ‘Superbowl of fashion,’ the MET Gala, which takes place annually on the first Monday in May, definitely earned its nickname Monday, May 1, 2023 as A-listers came to pay tribute to Karl Lagerfeld’s visionary talent. The exhibition that will open at The Costume Institute of Metropolitan Museum of Art, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” will honor Lagerfeld’s legacy and his 65 years of designing for multiple fashion houses, most notably Chanel and his own label. But the gowns and styles of the evening evoked his aesthetics for Chloe and Fendi as well. It gave the celebrities out in full force multiple themes and looks to play off, as well as Lagerfield’s personal style. The gowns were breathtaking and the jewelry mixed all-out glamour with a tongue-in-cheek approach to pearls, camellias and iconic looks from different high points in Lagerfeld’s career. Black and white gowns provided the backdrop for many of the Chanel-inspired themes in jewels, which seemed to be the most predominant looks of the evening. But then everything from Lagerfeld’s love of cats to his sunglasses was mixed in to achieve a creative approach to celebrating his talent. Here we look at the best jewelry of the evening
