16 details you probably missed at the Met Gala
Paige Bennett
- Many celebrities attended the "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" Met Gala on Monday in unique looks.
- Some Met Gala outfits had subtle nods to the theme or paid homage to past runway looks.
Dua Lipa wore a vintage 1992 bridal gown originally modeled by Claudia Schiffer.
Dua Lipa wore a vintage Chanel bridal dress to her second Met Gala. She accented the dress with an over-100-carat Tiffany necklace that she described as being straight from the vault.
The gown was previously worn by model and Lagerfeld muse Schiffer in 1992. Dua Lipa may have chosen the bridal gown because Lagerfeld famously ended his runway shows with a bridal look.
Chloe Fineman wore a crystal cat clutch, a reference to Lagerfeld's beloved cat, Choupette.
"Saturday Night Live" actor Fineman wore a custom Wiederhoeft pink gown with purple flowers at the top. She paired it with a bag shaped like a cat in a nod to Lagerfeld's beloved pet and muse Choupette.
Elle Fanning's look was inspired by a memory with Lagerfeld.
Fanning wore a flower crown and a black bolero jacket with her Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood dress.
The actor wrote on Instagram it was a nod to when Lagerfeld photographed her when she was 13 for his "Little Black Jacket" book. She wrote that he just added a black jacket and a flower crown to the white dress she'd arrived in.
Rita Ora's nails had chains.
Ora paired her Prabal Gurung dress with accessorized nails. Her manicure featured long chains with pearl beads as a reference to iconic Chanel design elements. She also had the Chanel logo on her index finger.
Nicole Kidman wore the pink dress from her 2004 Chanel No. 5 commercial.
Kidman walked the carpet in a dress she wore to shoot Chanel Chanel No. 5, the Film, directed by fellow Met Gala attendee Baz Luhrmann in 2004.
The dress was designed by Lagerfeld during his time at Chanel.
Lily Collins and Vera Wang literally sported Lagerfeld's name.
Wang and Collins each wore gowns with Karl spelled on the train of the dress. They were both designed by Wang.
Doja Cat arrived wearing cat prosthetics.
Doja Cat was among the stars paying homage to Choupette. Doja Cat came aptly dressed in custom Oscar de la Renta, complete with cat ears.
She also had prosthetics, cat eyeliner, and nails shaped like claws to make her look like an actual cat.
Two attendees, Olivia Wilde and Margaret Zhang, arrived in very similar gowns.
Two Met Gala attendees this year arrived in very similar gowns by Chloé. Wilde wore a white dress with a gold guitar element and Zhang wore a black gown with what appears to be the same embellishment.
Their skirts and accessories were also different.
Gisele Bündchen first wore her Met Gala dress over 15 years ago.
The model wore a look from Chanel's spring 2007 Couture collection.
Bündchen previously wore the dress for a Harper's Bazaar Korea photoshoot photographed by Lagerfeld himself over 15 years ago.
Jared Leto showed up as Choupette in a fur suit.
When a giant cat walked out onto the carpet, some onlookers may have been confused. (Lizzo certainly was.) As it turns out, it was just Leto in a cat suit.
Serena Williams and Karlie Kloss announced pregnancies on the Met Gala carpet.
Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian revealed there were three of them present for interviews. Kloss joked her baby was her plus one on the carpet.
Williams announced her news in Gucci and pearls and Kloss announced her pregnancy in Loewe and pearls.
Lil Nas X, adorned in silver, only spoke to the press in meows.
Lil Nas X was painted in silver and wore a metallic thong, matching platform boots, and an ornate cat-like face mask. The musician committed to his Choupette homage by only saying "meow" on the carpet.
His pearl- and jewel-encrusted look was by Pat McGrath and Dior Men.
Janelle Monáe had a mid-carpet outfit change.
Before the Met Gala began, Monáe already told fans to expect something exciting.
"I have an experience that I've put together," Monáe told People. "You have to watch. Watch that red carpet because you don't want to miss a beat."
The first look included an oversized black-and-white coat and a large, cat-shaped white bag. Then, people accompanying Monáe helped remove the overcoat and the rest of the outfit to reveal a sheer, round-framed gown.
The look was designed by Thom Browne.
Jeremy Pope arrived in a gown with a 30-foot-long train with Lagerfeld's face on it.
Pope's look was by Balmain. The train, which spanned 30 feet, featured Lagerfeld's profile, complete with his signature sunglasses and ponytail.
Kim Kardashian wore over 50,000 pearls — and her daughter picked some up as they fell on the way to the Met Gala.
Kim's outfit, custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture by Daniel Roseberry, was made with over 50,000 freshwater pearls.
She said her daughter North West rode in the car with her and picked up pearls as they fell off her dress.
Some pearls "popped on the way, and I told my daughter to grab them all. They're real pearls, and she was putting them in her purse," Kim told Vogue.
Rihanna arrived after Vogue's livestream ended — and her look had a reveal.
You might not have seen Rihanna's look since she arrived with A$AP Rocky after Vogue's ed-carpet livestream ended.
