Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Jared Leto has honored Karl Lagerfeld’s cat, Choupette, as he stuns in Big Cat costume on MET Gala 2023 red carpet. (Read More Here)?
But elegant wasn’t entirely the hallmark of the evening. Jared Leto dressed as Choupette, Lagerfeld’s beloved fluffy cat. Lil Nas X went full cat covered in crystals by Pat McGrath and Dior Men.
Bad Bunny showed up late in bright white from head to toe with a long cape adorned with flowers. Monáe’s look, with a black sparkly leotard underneath, was made by Thom Browne.
Dua Lipa walked in a Chanel ballgown from the fashion house’s archive and Nicole Kidman chose a look Karl Lagerfeld himself made for her 20 years ago.
Doja Cat fittingly also arrived at the event channeling Choupette. She wore a hooded Oscar de la Renta gown, whcih included cat ears on the hood, silver sequins, a backless feature, and a mermaid silhouette that extended into a white feathered train. Over 5,000 hours of work went into creating the dazzling piece, which includes 350,000 silver and white bugle beads. She finished the look off with a diamond headpiece worn underneath the hood and a delicate diamond chain arm cuff.
Fear not, fashion lovers—the feline look wasn’t the only stunt up Leto’s sleeve. He later fully removed the costume to reveal yet another outfit, this time a much tamer (and arguably much more fashionable) all-black ensemble comprised of a bedazzled cape, semi-sheer blouse, pleated skirt, and black trousers.
And there were some bombshells: Serena Williams wore a flapper Gucci look when she announced she’s pregnant with her second child.
Lipa, a gala co-chair, wore a Tiffany & Co. diamond around her neck that she called “very special.” The singer’s cream-colored dress, by Chanel from 1992, was also “very, very special” as it has been on her mood boards, she said.
Kim Kardashian, meanwhile, went with loops and loops of pearls all over her Schiaparelli look. And Cardi B went big in pink, complete with a feathery head piece. Brittney Griner wore a gentle blush suit by Calvin Klein, who also dressed her wife, Cherelle Griner, in a sleek strapless gown close to the same color.
Many in the crowd of 400 counted Lagerfeld as a friend or worked with him at Chanel, Fendi, Chloe or one of the other fashion houses where he created during a career that spanned more than 60 years.
Many of the A-list guests wore black to walk the unusual carpet in a line design. It was a color Lagerfeld wore almost exclusively. Black-and-white combos were also plentiful.
