At the 2021 American fashion themed Met Gala, men in Hollywood took theatrical red carpet style to staggering new heights. Rapper Lil Nas X wore three bold Versace creations on the carpet—including an ornate cape, gold armor, and glitzy bodysuit. A$AP Rocky also wore a quilted ERL cape, which perfectly complemented Rihanna’s voluminous Balenciaga design. At the 2022 Met Gala, stars like Jared Leto, Gunna, and Alton Mason brought forward their best Gilded Age suiting. On the 2023 red carpet, which honored Karl Lagerfeld, Jeremy Popes dramatic Balmain cape extended to reveal a long train bearing the late designers portrait. Alton Mason, also dressed in Balmain, showed up as one of Lagerfelds iconic Chanel brides Bad Bunnys white Jacquemus look also nodded to bridal style.
Chloe Fineman’s most recent act was a one night only engagement hosting the 2023 Met Gala livestream. The Saturday Night Live star, who happens to be a die hard fan of Karl Lagerfeld, was live from the red carpet alongside Derek Blasberg and La La Anthony on Monday night. While this wasn’t Fineman’s first rodeo (she has attended the Met Gala twice before), holding court on the red carpet is a new role for the actress. Thanks to her quick wit, hours spent on live television, and unmatched ability to impersonate everyone from Meryl Streep to Drew Barrymore, she was perfectly primed for the occasion. So, how did the host choose what to wear for such an affair? For Fineman, working with Jackson Wiederhoeft of Wiederhoeft to create an on theme look, influenced by Lagerfeld’s Chanel era, was a no brainer. Wiederhoeft, who brought his first ever Met Gala ensemble to life in a matter of weeks, turned to Lagerfeld’s Look 53 of Chanel’s 2004 spring couture show for inspiration. “That collection was all about contradictions—graphically and texturally,” Wiederhoeft said. “Chloe’s look features a shimmering pink sheath, fully hand embroidered with cut glass beads, molded over a severely corseted base. These modern and clean lines speak volumes to our generation’s understanding of Karl—a person who defined, and was always redefining, classicism and modernity.”
