The 2023 Met Gala theme is Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, a reference to Lagerfeld's famous sketches. The exhibition will feature Lagerfeld's work from Chanel, Fendi, Balmain, Patou, Chloé, and his eponymous brand. Of course, Lagerfeld is most closely associated with his 36-year tenure at Chanel, so we can expect to see plenty of archival looks and outfits inspired by the French fashion house.
But I predict we won't see these 10 specific Chanel looks on the red carpet for the 2023 Met Gala. Why? Because they've already been worn to previous Met Galas and are not likely to be repeated at the exact same event. After all, fashion has an undying obsession with newness. Scroll down to revisit the 10 iconic Chanel looks we've seen at previous Met Galas.
