From Karl Lagerfeld\u2019s first designs as Pierre Balmain\u2019s assistant to his magnum opus Chanel Fall\/Winter 2019 collection, fashion was besotted with him.<\/p>\n

It was a mutual attraction and one that has cultivated in Lagerfeld\u2019s legacy being honored by the Metropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s Spring 2023 exhibition: “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.”<\/p>\n

But what you won\u2019t see preserved behind museum glass in the exhibition is Lagerfeld\u2019s longstanding relationships with his muses \u2014 the prolific women who inspired and embodied his collections whether that be through their innate French je ne sais quoi<\/em> or “It girl” statuses.<\/p>\n

Indeed, his eponymous “choupettes<\/a>” \u2014 the pet name he reserved for only the most significant of muses \u2014 like Lily-Rose, Kate, Naomi, Vittoria, Devon and Cara are some of Lagerfeld\u2019s most lasting relationships, with his legacy continued by those who knew him best.<\/p>\n

So, for the 2023 Met Gala<\/a>, it was only natural that these legendary women \u2014 models or muses, whatever you\u2019d like to call them \u2014 to turn up in the best way they knew how to honor their late friend: by flexing their sartorial prowess.<\/p>\n

Lagerfeld\u2019s last muse, Margot Robbie<\/a>, looked to a Lagerfeld-era silk chiffon corseted gown first worn by Cindy Crawford on the runway in 1993. A fitting tribute, especially considering Robbie was the last muse selected by Lagerfeld to be a Chanel house ambassador before his passing.<\/p>\n

Naomi Campbell, who cites Lagerfeld commenced her working relationship with the German designer when she was only 16 years old, opted for a pink Chanel saree from 2010.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Cara Delevingne wore a deconstructed take on Lagerfeld\u2019s signature silhouette, while Elle Fanning<\/a> donned the daisy chain flower crown that Lagerfeld styled her in at 13 years old in Chanel\u2019s The Little Black Jacket<\/em> book.<\/p>\n

Continuing Lagerfeld\u2019s signature approach to glorifying both mothers and their daughters on the runway, ’90s muse Kate Moss and her daughter Lila Moss<\/a> opted for vintage Fendi looks, harking back to Lagerfeld\u2019s time at the Italian mansion.<\/p>\n

Australian actress Nicole Kidman<\/a> even reprised a haute couture gown designed specifically by Lagerfeld in 2004 for her Baz Luhrmann directed No. 5 The Film. <\/em><\/p>\n

While “Model as Muse” was the theme for the 2009 Met Gala, it\u2019s clear that Lagerfeld\u2019s celebrated relationship with his muses makes this a motif worth revisiting. Below, every one of Karl\u2019s muses<\/a> who made an appearance at the 2023 Met Gala.<\/p>\n
