The Costume Institute’s annual ball has long been nicknamed the “fashion Oscar”. Met Gala-2023 was dedicated to couturier Karl Lagerfeld. The Metropolitan Museum of Art presented more than 100 images and sketches of Lagerfeld. A ticket to the ball costs almost $50,000 (4 million rubles). But the stars “walk” for free. We consider the most discussed and strange outfits of stars at the event.

42-year-old Kim Kardashian came in a dress from Schiaparelli. The star flashed all the prominent parts of the body at once. The basis of the dress is pearl threads (as a reference to the work of Lagerfeld), they barely cover the chest and buttocks, which cheerfully keep their shape, as they were “cheered up” by the skillful hands of a plastic surgeon. Kardashian is barely breathing because of the slimming corset – it was necessary to demonstrate the waist, which looks like an aspen against the background of the buttocks.

51-year-old Jared Leto soared in a huge life-size puppet – you could breathe through holes in your ears. The actor and musician looked like an animator or a runaway participant in our show “Mask”. Jared portrayed Lagerfeld’s favorite cat – a Burmese breed named Choupette, to whom the couturier bequeathed more than $ 200 million. Choupette’s guardian reasonably decided that attending a noisy event would become stressful for the cats. So Jared replaced her.

53-year-old Jennifer Lopez in Ralph Lauren showed good taste and a naked body. Impeccable proportions, a win-win combination of white and black. Despite the fact that almost everyone came to the event in vintage outfits, there is a lot of actuality. J. Lo wears black velvet (one of the main materials of 2023) and long gloves, which are now worn day and night. The chest is almost visible – the shape is impeccable, as a plastic surgeon once worked on it.

Kendall Jenner, 27, looks like a variety show dancer in Marc Jacobs. From that very beautiful shiny cape, you could sew a beautiful dress. But the model came in a bodysuit – for some reason she again showed people soy long legs (and not only), although we have already seen all this many times. It turned out to be an exit to the ball of a costume with a touch of vulgarity.

21-year-old Billie Eilish in Simone Rocha chose the most vulgar image. Too many transparent inserts – it was necessary to open either the top or the bottom. The image from the “zero” is similar to the stage outfits of our Allegrova of those years, but Irina Alexandrovna had long skirts, so she looked more worthy. Makeup and hairstyle aged the young singer by 15 years.

56-year-old Salma Hayek came in a strange Gucci dress. Everything that can be mixed up: tulle frills, lace pants under the skirt, latex bodice, pearl shoulders … A great outfit for performing, for example, gypsy dances. But on a dress worth almost 1 million rubles. the outfit doesn’t fit.
Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson

31-year-old Suki Waterhouse and 36-year-old Robert Pattinson showed tender feelings. The actress looked amazing – a great option to wear sheer dresses as fashionably as possible. Waterhouse opted for a flesh-colored Fendi. Bright embroidery, flesh-colored underwear covered all the piquant places. Sandals with rhinestones – fashionable. One of the few artists who abandoned the trendy platform in favor of elegance. Pattinson wore a white shirt with a gold brooch instead of a tie, and black patent leather shoes. And also Robert came in a Dior tuxedo, which in addition to trousers includes a pleated skirt. The skirt is sewn only on the right. Therefore, from one side, the actor looks normal, and from the other, he is dressed in Western fashion. Tuxedo from the latest men’s collection of the brand.
Irina Shayk

37-year-old Irina Shayk set the task of her team to get a vintage Yohji Yamamoto dress from the spring-summer 1998 collection archive for the ball. Irina is a fan of the fashion art of Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto, and her dream came true. A dress from a modern collection can be bought for 90 thousand rubles, and a vintage one will cost much more. But the stars do not buy outfits – brands give them for one exit for free, to light up at such a status event is considered prestigious. They are not discussing Shake’s diamonds (also for rent), but her ballet flats – the model came without heels and looked dignified.

24-year-old rapper Lil Nas X shocked the audience with his lack of clothes. The man came in a thong, platform boots and a mask on his face – the body of the musician was covered with silver paint. So he became the main freak of the ball, a meme in social networks – he secured a moment of dubious fame.

In the final on the red carpet of the Met Gala, singer Rihanna and Asap Rocky appeared. 35-year-old pregnant Rihanna in Valentino depicted a bed of white roses. The outfit is tasteless, but outrageous, the cape of roses comes unfastened and removed from the head. The husband of the star Asap Rocky was in Gucci: jeans and a kilt – this is how the musician copies one of the famous images of Lagerfeld.

25-year-old Anok Yai came in the most unusual and most talked about dress of the ball from Prabal Gurung. Most designers from different countries named him the best at the event. A corset dress (and corsets are now at the top of the fashion list of the year) resembles an expensive upturned chandelier. But everyone admires: golden scales, silver threads and the perfect combination of skin colors and outfit. For reference, Anok Yai is an American fashion model of South Sudanese origin, one of the most sought-after models in the world, a biochemist by training.
