Met Gala 2023 co-host Dua Lipa paid homage to Karl Lagerfeld by wearing one of his classic designs from the Chanel Couture 1992 collection. It was all very appropriate and well-considered, but we thought it was one of the biggest disappointments of the night.

It’s a wonderful piece of Chanel – and by extension, Lagerfeld –  history and it’s a lovely dress, but even on a night when the majority of the looks were fashion-based and not costumey, when most of the attendees paid homage to the man of the evening by adopting his black and white aesthetic and his love of high fashion, this is a really underwhelming choice. The centerpiece is that 200-karat Tiffany Infinity Stone she’s got hanging around her neck. It’s a jaw-dropping piece of jewelry and we certainly don’t mind her taking it out for a little air, but for us, the Met Gala should always be about fashion design first, accessorizing second.
