This year’s Met Gala immortalizes Karl Lagerfeld’s indelible mark in fashion.
The #MetGala2023 saw some of the most stylish men in attendance, with notable mentions going to Bad Bunny for impeccable tailoring, Jackson Wang who channelled Karl, A$AP Rocky in a tartan Gucci ensemble, Rami Malek looking suave in Prada and Cartier accessories, Robert Pattinson pushing fashion boundaries in a Dior half-skirt, and Barry Keoghan flying the checkered flag in Burberry.
The ladies of the 2023 Met Gala were, as per usual, serving elegance and extravagance. “Human Chanel” herself, Jennie Kim, embodied vintage Chanel with a recreation of a 90s’ look. Supermodels like Emily Ratajkowski Anok Yai pranced in show-stopping looks. And of course, the Queen of the Met Gala herself, Rihanna, arrived to create yet another iconic moment clad in immaculate white.
Check out the looks that caught the eyes of the MANTLE team:
Tweed Tales
Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny’s #MetGala2023 ensemble designed by Jacquemus has sent fashion enthusiasts into a frenzy, following his show-stopping appearances at #Coachella.
Bad Bunny’s immaculately tailored, all-white outfit with an impressively lengthy train exudes an air of sophistication reminiscent of the legendary Karl Lagerfeld. The single-breasted blazer, accompanied by a thick tie and tasteful tweed embellishments, is a bold reinterpretation of Chanel’s iconic design language, expertly crafted to capture Bad Bunny’s distinct brand of coolness while still paying homage to Lagerfeld’s visionary style.
