When the 2023 Met Gala theme was announced to be honouring the late iconic Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld, there was no way Penélope Cruz, a longtime ambassador of the French fashion house and close friend of Lagerfeld’s, wouldn’t be on the guest list.
Thankfully, the Met took it one step further, asking the Spanish actress to be one of the evening’s co-chairs, alongside Dua Lipa, in a vintage Chanel bridal look, Michaela Coel and Roger Federer.
Arriving on the red carpet, Cruz looked angelic wearing a custom-made hooded gown with a large shawl collar in light blue organza embroidered with silver sequins. Cruz added a silver leather belt embellished with pearls inspired by a look from the Haute Couture archives, specifically look 81 from the house’s Spring-Summer 1988 collection.
Cruz added more sparkle through her silver sky-high platform sandals by Chanel and silver-and-diamond hoop earrings.
The actress opted for simplicity when it comes to her beauty look, wearing a bronzy sparkly eye, a glossy nude lip, and a slicked-back hairdo with a middle part.
Before hitting the red carpet, Cruz uploaded a tribute to Lagerfeld to her Instagram, writing, “My dear Karl, I hope you are feeling the love. I know you are.”
