Jeremy Pope, Conan Gray and Ice Spice were dressed by Olivier Rousteing in custom Balmain looks for the 2023 Met Gala.
Jeremy Pope shutdown the red carpet wearing a custom Balmain look featuring a long floral embroidered cape which unfurled to reveal a 10-meter train with a hand drawn illustration of Karl Lagerfeld.
Simply paired with black flare pants, this is the drama we need from the Met.
I would hazard a guess that the point from which the concept of Conan Gray’s custom Balmain look created started with Karl Lagerfeld’s iconic 1920’s art deco fan.
Karl’s signature high v-neck tailored collar can’t be overlooked along with the fingerless gloves which are attached to the sleeves of his fringed off-the-shoulder tweed redingote jacket.
The final Karl mark was the black tie and black embroidered camellia.
Considering so much detail had gone into Jeremy and Conan’s look, Ice Spice’s custom Balmain white embellished dress failed to excite.
However, we all know that Karl Lagerfeld was a photographer along with being a fashion designer, so her Judith Leiber clutch helped divert this look towards the theme.
