Over the course of his 54-year tenure at Fendi, Karl Lagerfeld played a vital role in shaping the history of the Roman house, as well as becoming a beloved member of the Fendi family.

“The bond between Karl Lagerfeld and Fendi is fashion’s longest love story,” said Silvia Venturini Fendi, the Artistic Director of Accessories and Menswear.

For the 2023 Met Gala, Fendi hosted a table with Suki Waterhouse, Kate Moss, Lila Grace Moss, Precious Lee, Gwendoline Christie, Christina Ricci, Fendi Korean ambassador Hye Kyo Song and Pete Davidson.

Suki Waterhouse was a vision wearing a Fendi Spring 2019 silk tulle dress by Karl Lagerfeld, which plays with symmetries and possesses an airy, glass-like colourful transparencies which illuminate the piece.

I love how her makeup artist was inspired by her dress for her beauty look.

While Gwendoline Christie’s Fendi Spring 2023 Couture gown didn’t wash her out, the fact that I can’t see her arms is throwing this look off balance.

However, I will say that the femininity imbued by the soft draping looked beautiful as she glided down the red carpet.

Kate Moss and daughter Lila Moss chose coordinating soft pastel Fendi dresses.

Lila wore a Fendi Fall 2018 Couture gown by Karl Lagerfeld made of marabou feathers treated to appear as fur.

Kate wore her go-to slip dress which she popularised in the ’90s, which was a bespoke Fendi Couture creation by Kim Jones.

The silk georgette long sleeves gave the look an ethereal sensation in movement, but felt a bit random when she was stationary.

Christina Ricci opted out of being part of the Fendi nude gang, as she has never been one to follow the trends.

This could’ve been a wise choice if there was a likelihood of her appearing washed out.

Her silver Fendi Spring 2023 Couture top and skirt ensemble made from trompe l’oeil lurex fabric and jacquard embroideries was luminous on the red carpet.

Shame about the shoes.

Precious Lee, who has walked for Fendi shows, wore a Fendi Fall 2023 gown that mixed minimalism with sensuality.  

You can’t help but be enamoured by the fluidity of the silhouette which draw inspiration from the recent couture show.

Actress Song Hye Kyo, who is the Korea brand ambassador wore a Fendi Spring 2023 Couture look by Kim Jones featuring the lingerie theme which was prevalent from the collection.

As you know I haven’t been a fan of this collection on the red carpet, but on this occasion I can see the romantic vision.

Pete Davidson was suited and booted when he attended this event last year, but he was back to presenting his usual laidback, yet fit for the occasion style, wearing a custom Fendi Mens black coat with lilac leather trousers. 

The graphic tee ensured this was on brand for the comedian.
