Phoebe Bridgers attended the 2023 Met Gala with her signature rock star style intact. The musician walked the red carpet on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to celebrate the “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” exhibition.
Bridgers wore a corseted black gown with a draped spaghetti straps, fully embellished with strategically placed pearls and a cascading pleated train from American designer Tory Burch.
The Punisher artist pulled her icy silver strands back into an effortless updo with a double-strap black headband and two wavy tendrils framing her face with dainty pearl drop earrings. Bridgers maintained a neutral complexion with a silver smokey eye and rimmed black eyeliner and a pink lip.
Bridgers walked the carpet with the designer and Emily Ratajkowski, whom Burch dressed as well. Ahead of the gala, Burch shared a behind-the-scenes sneak peak at the construction of their gowns on Instagram. “The countdown to the #MetGala has begun ✨,” she captioned the post.
A go-to favorite design element of Lagerfeld’s, the pearls on Bridger’s gown are a clear homage to the late, great fashion revolutionary.
According to an official statement acquired by CNN, the exhibition will consist of 150 designs that “explore the designer’s stylistic language.” There will be sketches and designs from Lagerfeld’s tenure as creative director of Fendi, Chloé and Chanel, along with creations from his time at Balmain, Patou and pieces from his namesake label, encompassing his six-decade career which lasted until his death at the age of 85 in 2019.
