The theme of the2023 Met Gala, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” celebrates the late designer and the accompanying exhibit showcases around 150 of Lagerfeld’s greatest outfits across his prolific six-decade career — designs he made while working for brands like Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi, Chanel and his own eponymous label.
Given how closely Gigi worked with Lagerfeld during the last few years of his life — she even closed his last Fendi runway show in 2019 just two days after he died — it’s no wonder she was in attendance to honor him on the big night.
Hadidis no stranger to theMet Gala— last year, she brought their own unique sense of fashion to the iconic red carpet.

“She’s 1 next week and I feel like I’ve been on mama duty, I’ve been at the farm with her every day in my sweatpants and our matching messy buns,” she said last September while wearing a white Prada column and black leather opera gloves to the soirée. “I feel like tonight I’m showing her what it means to dress up and own it and have balance.”

The star sat with her face mask on and eyes closed while a medical professional administered the shot into her left arm.
“for anyone concerned 🖤,” she simply captioned the Instagram Story post. Bella didn’t otherwise explain why she did not attend the Met Gala.
