The countdown to the Met Gala 2023 has officially begun. Soon, esteemed guests of the glitzy charity benefit will walk across the red carpet and enter The Metropolitan Museum of Art for the grand opening of its new fashion exhibit “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” As a night that celebrates fashion, the Met Gala’s red carpet is an event in and of itself. The looks featured on it this year will honour the theme of the new museum exhibit by paying tribute to the designs of the late Karl Lagerfeld. From Chanel logo belts to Haute Couture gowns, here are some of Chanel runway looks by Karl Lagerfeld that we hope to see on the Met Gala 2023 red carpet.
Chanel Ready-To-Wear S/s 1991
An influx of tweed suits are in order for the Met Gala 2023, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” like the off-white look pictured above.
Chanel Ready-to-Wear A/W 1992
From the double-C logo cap to the gold chain belt, this Chanel look from the ’90s is a strong match for this year’s Met Gala theme.
Chanel Ready-to-Wear S/S 1993
With the rise of It-girls, like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid, adopting the “no-pants” trend, we think this ’90s Chanel look will be a shoo-in for the Met Gala 2023 red carpet.
Chanel Ready-To-Wear A/W 1993
Between the messenger bag and the high-waisted trousers, this Chanel runway look epitomises ’90s fashion. We’d love to see a Met Gala 2023 guest resurrect its bold accessories from the archives.
Chanel Ready-to-Wear S/S 1995
Lagerfeld nailed the minimalistic style that was popular during this time with his streamlined Chanel look modelled by Naomi Campbell. We’d be interested in seeing a modernised version of classic ’90s style on the Met Gala’s red carpet.
Chanel Haute Couture S/S 1999
Call it wishful thinking, but we definitely have Devon Aoki wearing this haute couture set on our Met Gala 2023 bingo card this year.
