Decoded: Met Gala 2023’s most noteworthy makeup looks
True to tradition, this year’s Met Gala occurred on the first Monday of May. This time, the spring exhibit's theme was ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A line of beauty’ in honour of the legendary German designer. Apart from his eponymous brand, Lagerfeld helmed a number of fashion houses, from Patou Balmain, Fendi, and Chloe to, possibly the most famous, Chanel.
The red (or white, in this case) carpet was splattered with his signature black and white, with influences of old Hollywood. As expected, we saw crisp tailoring (Kristen Stewart’s androgynous look), signature tweed, combined with feminine bows and headbands and pearls (cue Emma Chamberlain and Alia Bhatt). Celebs like Jared Leto, Doja Cat and Lil Nas X paid homage to Lagerfeld’s beloved cat Choupette and his irreverent spirit with their feline-inspired looks.
