The Met Gala returned to NYC last night (May 1), the first Monday of May, celebrating the life and work of the one and only Karl Lagerfeld. Musicians, actors, models, athletes and the like showed up in their best looks in homage to Lagerfeld’s 50+ year career. Popular outfit themes included camellia blossoms, tweeds, dress shirts and suits, and gloves, all part of Karl’s infamous design signature. With many fashion houses and eras to draw inspiration from, they were not short of stunning looks. Here are my best dressed picks in no particular order. See below!
