Lily James wowed attendees of the 2023 Met Gala with her modern-day Audrey Hepburn look and black leather and sheer gloves. However, it wasn't just her stylish outfit that caught the spotlight. James also expressed her fashion nod to the late Karl Lagerfeld, known for sporting fingerless leather Chanel gloves, with her own unique pair of gloves. The evening's theme honoured the designer, coinciding with the opening of the Costume Institute's 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty' exhibit.

Vogue editor Anna Wintour hosted the event and expressed her appreciation for Lagerfeld's creativity and design on the red carpet. Other celebs also graced the event with creative fashion, including Phoebe Bridgers, who showed up in a glamorous twist of her iconic skeleton suit and Gwendoline Christie, who wore a baby pink Fendi gown. Karl Lagerfeld's beloved cat, Choupette, even received an invitation to the event! The event was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and fans could watch the festivities via a Vogue livestream.
