On its website, Vogue gave some styling advice to the lucky few who will be invited to attend the Met Gala this year, sharing a list of “approaches” they can take when it comes to paying tribute to Karl.
“The first, most authentic approach would be to wear an archival look from one of the labels Lagerfeld ran,” it suggested.
“The second would be to wear modern Chanel or Fendi, two houses on which Lagerfeld left an indelible impression.”
The final recommendation was for guests to find their own version of Karl’s beloved cat, Choupette, and “dress up a la Lagerfeld.”
“We suspect Lagerfeld would have hated a half-hearted homage, and with such an immense body of work, guests should have no trouble digging up a one-of-a-kind piece,” it continued.
