The looks of Karl Lagerfeld in a line of beauty.
*DISCLAIMER* THIS NOT A “BEST-DRESSED” LIST.
ENJOY! ☺️
hello hello and welcome to the 2023 met gala take by The Daily Stylish.
this year the theme for the gala was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”, and when I heard about the theme, at first thought with all the rush and excitement, I was imagining the usual attendees in the designs that Karl Lagerfeld created for the houses he designed for. Then, I thought more about it and realized how impossible that would be. A huge fashion event like this is also an opportunity for new and upcoming designers to display their bespoke skills and craftsmanship, so why would everyone come dressed in designs by one man just because the theme had been centred around him. Once I had shifted my mind from that narrative I then believed I just had one thing to look forward to, which was how other designers would apply Karl Lagerfeld’s influence on their own creations.
With that to look forward to I decided to curate looks by designers and fashion houses worn to the gala that I thought would have displayed some likeness to the designs of Karl Lagerfeld, including his personal style. And thanks to the designers and stylists who shared the inspirations behind the final looks worn to the gala, I definitely had a lot to choose from.

because I am human and I work alone 🥲, there are a few more looks that I felt met the purpose for this blog post, but I didn’t get a chance to create my own collage of them. So I have stacked some of the looks below 👇🏽.
With that we have come to the end of this post. I really enjoyed putting this list together, especially because it is not a list focused on who dressed the best or who dressed the worst. In my opinion everyone looked stunning, chef’s kiss in fact and no one looked like they were uncomfortable in what they wore. But, I don’t feel just looking good is the entire point of attending a huge fashion event like the met gala, I believe looking good is just the half of it, and the other half lies on wether or not the designer or fashion house executes the skills required to create a look that will be right on point with the said theme of the gala.
If you get what I mean 😌.
