On May 1, local time in the United States, the fashion circle celebration Met Gala (Metropolitan Museum of Art charity gala in New York) was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The themes of this year's Met Gala and its exhibition are:
"Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty"
It commemorates Carl Lagerfeld (1933.09.10-2019.01.19), a famous fashion designer who once steered fashion brands such as Chanel.

This year's exhibition also revolves around Galeries Lafayette, covering the period from the 60s until his death in 2019.
(In 1954, Galeries Lafayette won the Wool Fashion Design Award, which he and his award-winning work have.)
Exhibits include his designs for the fashion brands Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi, Chanel and his eponymous brand Karl Lagerfeld, as well as some design manuscripts.

Although he has been dead for four years, Lafayette is still influential, and he has always been an icon for many fashion designers, fashion industry practitioners, and fashionistas.
Many celebrities who participated in this year's Met Gala have collaborated with Lafayette.
Some of them were less than 20 years old when they met Lafayette, and working with Lafayette was undoubtedly a highlight in their careers.
On the road to fame, they also practiced a pair of fire eyes and golden eyes,
When talking about Lafayette again, you can still say the influence of Lafayette on his career, and respect him between the lines, it is not difficult to explain Lafayette's personality.
In an interview with Vogue, they also talked about what they see Carl Lagerfeld to look like.
- Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman said in an interview,
The dress she is wearing today is the same one she wore 20 years ago in an advertisement for Chanel No. 5 perfume.

This dress was designed by Lafayette, and after repeated modifications, Nicole still retains the original design manuscript,
The dress is decorated with a lot of feathers and is very light because it is all handmade, and it is very comfortable to wear.
Nicole says she thinks haute couture can stand the test of time, and if you love them and love them all the time, they will never go out of style, even if they can still wear the same thing 20 years from now, they will still be beautiful.
Talking about her experience working with Lafayette, Nicole said that it was through working with him that she began to know him and fell deeply in love with him, he was funny and often made her laugh.
- Penelope Cruze
In 2018, Spanish actress Penélope Cruz was appointed by Galeries Lafayette as a Chanel brand ambassador,
The two are not only partners, but also good friends, and Met Gala, who is definitely on the invitation list for this year, also served as the co-chair of the event this time.
Penelope met Galeries Lafayette in 1999 and claims to be one of the biggest fans of Galeries Lafayette in the world, and is intimately aware of every collection he designs.
Later, Galeries Lafayette invited her to be Chanel's brand ambassador, sometimes shooting together, spending more time together, and the two became good friends.
Penelope said she liked Lafayette very much, he was a very special person.
When asked which look Lafayette liked most for her, Penelope said that it was a blue dress that Lafayette helped her change, and Lafayette painted her face on the dress.
This made her feel like a "dream come true", and although no photos were left, the scene was forever remembered by her.
Penelope also recalled that Lafayette was such a genius, but still so diligent, which she admired very much,
And everyone who knows Lafayette loves him, he is very kind to people.
Recalling the last time he met Lafayette, Penelope said,
"The last time we saw each other was in New York."
"We walked in Central Park at 12pm and it was really magical."
- Naomi Campbell
"Black Pearl" Naomi Campbell said in an interview that it was the 16th Met Gala she attended.
As the first supermodel, she and Lafayette are old acquaintances,
Naomi said that she met Lafayette at the age of 16 and often walked Chanel's shows.
Galeries Lafayette would ask her, "What are you wearing?" How could you wear this? ”
Finding out that she liked the sari, Galeries Lafayette would say, "Then we'll make the Chanel version of the sari this year." ”
- Gisele Bundchen
Gisele Bundchen, the supermodel who shot a lot of commercials for Chanel, has worked with Galeries Lafayette many times.
When asked about her feelings and one of her most memorable memories, she said this -
Galeries Lafayette was a gentleman, a gracious and wonderful person.
The last time she worked with Galeries Lafayette was at a show in Cuba for Chanel 5.
It's hard to pick the most memorable memories, she said, but once in the middle of the night, they were filming together on the streets of Paris.
That time Chanel's fashion collection was barefoot, and Giselle was always barefoot.
People around her were making a fuss about "how barefoot you are, how dirty you are", and the experience made her feel funny.
- Devin Aoki
"Millennium supermodel" Devin Aoki has walked the catwalk for Chanel many times and is also one of Lafayette muses.
Devin said Lafayette was the only one who would consider letting her walk the catwalk in fitted shoes.
Davin's feet are relatively small, and after a catwalk, Lafayette asked her to take away the well-fitting shoes she wore on the catwalk, "no one can wear your shoes",
So Devin took the shoes away.
As a result, a few months later, Chanel showed the same collection in Japan, and Devin didn't have the right shoes this time, and there were still many steps on that show.
Lafayette saw it and directly asked her to take off her shoes and walk barefoot.
This incident made her feel that Lafayette was very considerate.
- Jared Leto
American rocker and actor "Master Leto" Jared Leto (Jared Leto) is about to star in the Galeries Lafayette documentary and play Lafayette himself, and this time the Met Gala is naturally indispensable to him.
In an interview, Master Leto recalled his impression of Lafayette.
He said that Lafayette is a very kind person, and he can already imagine in his mind the appearance of Lafayette looking down at his pet with a bright smile, and his favorite cat is his pride.
Talking about the new movie, Young Master Leto said that when he first met Lafayette, he said: "One day I will play you in the movie."
Lafayette listened and replied: "Only you can act, only you." ”
Master Leto is good at making funny things on the Met Gala red carpet,
Sure enough, this year he was alive again, and he became the biggest winner on the red carpet, directly red out of the circle -
He cosplays Choupette, Lafayette's love cat, and wears a plush doll suit.
It was previously reported that the Met Gala was going to invite Schuppet to walk the red carpet, and it turned out to be such a move.
The cat's head is so realistic that even the gradient color of the face is exactly the same as that of the Schuppet cat, almost a 1:1 replica.
But miraculously, such a heavy giant hood was taken off, and the smoky makeup on the face did not fall off at all.
There is also a lot of exercise on the red carpet, bouncing and jumping.
Also ran to take pictures with Anne Hathaway.
Hug Lizzo.
It was a while later.
Later, he took a photo with the Kardashian sisters.
The whole makeup is not damaged, as if it is tattooed on the face...
The point is that another set of looks in Leto's cat's body is also very sensual.
Lafayette himself loves cats as much as his life, and his pet cat is among the heirs of his inheritance, so cats are also a hidden line in the theme of this Met Gala.
Not only Young Master Leto, but also Li Nacha and pod cats have also become cats, and the difference in style is quite large.
Lil Nas X Li Nacha is the most shining crystal cat to pay tribute to Galeries Lafayette and Schuppet.
Probably inspired by the pod cat look at Paris Fashion Week, Li Nacha on the red carpet wore only a pair of Dior tongs, and the rest of the look was composed of silver paint, Swarovski crystals and pearls, and it was difficult to see that it was a cat for a while...
But with a white fur coat, it's probably easy to understand...
Even during the interview, he only made a "meow" sound into the microphone the whole time...
Another cos cat is Doja Cat Pod Cat, which is out of the hotel in order to maintain the mystery...
The red carpet look really caused a sensation again...
A feathered fishtail dress embellished with 350,000 silver and white bugle beads, gorgeous in place...
The makeup details are already theatrical level, especially the nose and lips, and the fingertips have also been treated...
When he was interviewed on the spot, he only answered "meow" ~, regardless of what the host asked
He also took a photo with Li Nacha and two cats off the field...
The three of the cos cats take a bold route,
Most of the other stars still honestly follow the standards of red carpet styling and stand out by beauty.
Supermodel Anok Yai herself is quite advantageous, Prabal Gurung's gold and silver sequined bandeau dress is even more exotic, and her cold face can also be beautiful to the level of TOP3...
Ji Niangniang was in excellent shape after her divorce, wearing Chanel Couture, a dress she wore in 2006 or 2007.
Anne Hathaway still maintains the "beauty of beauty" level, the pin dress specially designed by Donatella Versace, which perfectly combines Chanel elements such as tweed, pearls and camellias with Versace's runway elements...
As mentioned earlier, Nicole Kidman wore the same fairy dress she wore in the Chanel perfume ad in '04...
Dua Lipa's black and white tweed evening gown is a Chanel Fall/Winter '92 collection worn by supermodel Cindy Crawford, designed by Lafayette himself...
Broadway theater actor Jeremy Pope walked the red carpet wearing an oversized tail dress with Galeries Lafayette himself on it...
Cardi B's dress is a camellia down skirt from Chinese designer brand CHENPENG, covering more than 600 camellia petals...
The long silver hair is also a tribute to Lafayette.
Rihanna, who is pregnant with her second child, belatedly uses Valentino to cosize herself into a giant camellia...
The whole set of looks is quite elegant and decent, and even walks out of an aura of "it doesn't matter if there are men around you or not"...
But it's still because the skirt chief was ridiculed by the media to return to the old business——
"Spread cakes on the red carpet again"...
I don't know who has a longer skirt between her and Glenn Close and Jennifer Lopez...
Alton Mason, the first black male model on the Chanel show, appeared in a bridal outfit...
Elle Fanning's Vivienne Westwood white embroidered dress is not too eye-catching, but she also wore a flower crown and appeared on the red carpet with a daisy...
It is said that it was Lafayette who once designed a white dress with a daisy crown for her, and she paid tribute to him with flowers.
This year, the Kardashians seem to be limited by the theme, but they dress little to do with the theme...
In fact, a week before the opening of the Met Gala, Sister Jin went to Galeries Lafayette Paris studio and took a photo with Schoppet, everyone thought that she would wear Lafayette designs this time...
As a result, Sister Jin wore a Schiaparelli custom dress, shining with the blessing of 50,000 hand-strung pearls...
It seems to be similar to the look she took photos of Playboy in 07...
Jin Xiaomei's Haider Ackermann has almost zero connection with the theme, but beauty is online.
Kendou is wearing Marc Jacobs black sequined jumpsuit, highlighting the curve of the hips, and horseshoe boots look 30 cm at sight...
This time the Met Gala also has many stars choose dresses with sheer elements...
Janelle Monae originally wore a wide Thom Browne black and white coat, and when she entered the venue, she took off the coat, and inside was a large sheer skirt, which should be the largest skin area of the day...
Then there's Michaela Coel's "resplendent" Schiaparelli dress...
Margot Robbie's Chanel black dress is by Lafayette, elegant and simple, and it is also the design worn by Cindy Crawford in 93...
Gigi also wore Givenchy's black corset and skirt...
Jessica Chastain chose a Gucci dress with a body-shaped neckline, and deliberately dyed her red hair blonde...
There are also many stars who choose a more conservative and themed black and white look...
For example, Da Boo and Nicola, with Valentino with black and white couple clothes, are quite decent...
BP's Jennie and Oscar actress Michelle Yeoh,
On one side is the Chanel 1990 Archive classic, exquisite and cute, on the other side is Dior, simple and generous...
Christine Stewart, the heroine of "Twilight", takes the casual handsome route...
is that in the case of serious color homogenization, nude color is more brilliant...
The styling inventory is over,
In fact, in addition to the stars, there are also some episodes related to the Met Gala,
Here's the egg section of this year's Met Gala...
1. Guangzong Yaozu's Xiaoqiang
During the red carpet time, a cockroach entered the Met Gala scene chaotically, causing a commotion, and it was stopped by the photographer in the venue with his foot and forcibly clicked a few photos, becoming the first mantis on the Met Gala red carpet in history, which can be described as the ancestor of the glory...
But soon, the media made an announcement -
This cockroach died on the spot due to a (deliberate) stampede incident, and is probably the fastest carpet star to fall on the star path...
2, Vogue editor-in-chief officially announced the romance on the red carpet
On the other side of the red carpet, 73-year-old Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour hammered herself and her contemporaneous actor Bill Nye on the Met Gala...
Anna, who has always been cautious, began to whisper intimately with her boyfriend in front of countless flashes on the red carpet... It seems that she is super in love...
3, the female star announced the happy news of her second child on the red carpet
This year, two female celebrities announced their pregnancy at the Met Gala - Karlie Kloss and tennis star Serena Williams, both of whom walked the red carpet with their pregnant belly and will welcome their second child this year...
4. Kardashian dinner meets ex
Known as "the end of the European and American love circle", Sister Jin and one of her predecessors, Pete Davidson, met.
Thinking back to last year's Met Gala, Sister Jin wearing Marilyn Monroe's dress attended the red carpet with Pete...
And this year, Pete became Michelle Yeoh's little pendant,
Sister Kim and sisters are beautiful alone...
But judging from the photos, the meeting was still harmonious and friendly...
Looking at this year's Met Gala as a whole, the red carpet style is obviously a lot more low-key, may be the theme is special, and the eye-catching style is far less than in previous years...
Who is the top 1 in your mind this year?
