Penélope Cruz, La La Anthony and More Met Gala 2023 Red Carpet Arrivals

Most stars appeared to stick to the theme of this year’s Met Gala, which celebrates the life and legacy of designer Karl Lagerfeld. Lagerfeld’s tenure at Chanel saw him revive the luxury house after it struggled financially in the ’70s. He recycled many of the label’s classic motifs — tweed, pearls and chains — modernizing them for a younger audience. Guests at the gala channeled Lagerfeld’s iconic designs in a departure from years past, where many celebrities have been lambasted by critics for failing to match their couture to the gala’s chosen theme. The evening’s “in honor of Karl” dress code, however, was certainly followed to a tee. Penélope Cruz paid homage to the Chanel bride in a veiled gown by the fashion house. Cruz’s look was encrusted with sequins and of course, pearls, which lined the circular buckle on her belt.

It featured a bustier covered in mauve floral ornaments and sprigs of feathers. In an ode to Lagerfeld’s beloved pet, Choupette, Fineman carried a crystallized purse in the shape of a cat.
