This year, the famous Met Gala was all about Karl Lagerfeld († 85). Stars like Jennifer Lopez (53), Kim Kardashian (42), Kendall Jenner (27), and Gisele Bundchen (42) came to New York on Monday to honor King Karl. And showed fashion heaven on earth.

The fashion designer and his work, who died in 2019, were commemorated under “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” The superstars floated over the white carpet of the Met Gala in clothes designed by him or dedicated to him.

Jared Leto as Lagerfeld's cat Choupette

Hollywood star Jared Leto (51) took the Lagerfeld Gala motto. He came in a cat outfit and looked like Choupette (11), Karl Lagerfeld's beloved Birman kitten. By the way, she was also invited, but then decided to stay at home …

Ex-model and musician Carla Bruni (55) also insisted on honoring Karl Lagerfeld. She and the designer were friends for thirty years, even off the catwalk. So to celebrate his legacy, she chose a 2001 Karl Lagerfeld look in the designer's signature black and white, with an asymmetric neckline and flowing train.

Sweet surprise at the Met Gala

She wore a black dress, under which a baby bump became apparent, and her husband put his hand on her stomach caringly. The 23-time Grand Slam winner also posted photos of her husband and herself in the gala outfit on Instagram and wrote, "I was so excited when Anna Wintour invited the three of us to the Met Gala." "There are three of us here, with our newcomer," Williams said publicly. "I'm doing well. I can breathe and stop hiding.”

After the gala, the celebrations continued at the after-show party

The official Karl Lagerfeld Aftershow Party took place at the legendary Mark Hotel on the Upper East Side

Whoever wanted to get in here needed an official invitation

Even before the party started, fans and onlookers lined the street. The whole block was cordoned off because everyone wanted to attend this party. It probably had the most formidable door in town – entry was only granted with an official invitation from Karl Lagerfeld.

Shortly after 11 p.m., Michelle Yeoh (60) arrived at the party. The actress, who won the Oscar for Best Actress ("Everything Everywhere All at Once") this year, finds very personal words: “Working with Karl was so inspiring for all of us. He was creative, spontaneous, and a genius; we miss him a lot!” She beams and explains: "Karl has always created everything with his whole soul and spirit; he would love this tribute to him."

Hollywood star Jared Leto at the after-show party 

Hollywood star Jared Leto (Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "Dallas Buyers Club") continued to celebrate. He came to the Met Gala dressed up as Choupette while she licked her paws at home. "I hope she saw me in my Choupette outfit. I know Karl is looking down at us from heaven right now and smiling. And that's the most wonderful thing about it.” According to the actor, Karl would love this party here. "I mean, how could he not?"

Paris Hilton (42), invited to the Met Gala for the first time this year, rushed to the party with her entourage. In the best mood, with oversized sunglasses. "I'm so happy to be here today. It's so great, and I'm having a great time."

Also seen at the party: supermodel Cara Delevigne (30), who quickly ran away with her manager. Influencer Caro Daur (28) and actress Lily Krug (21, daughter of actress Veronica Ferres) traveled to New York, especially for the Lagerfeld party. The party lasted until 1:30 a.m.
