We’re only just beginning to recover from Met Gala mayhem. From catsuits (as in – quite literally cat-suits) to silver spray paint, the annual bash served up an eclectic glitterbomb of looks.
There was also no shortage of archival outfits on display. Margot Robbie leaned into the theme of the night which was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” by hitting the white carpet in a flowing black one-shoulder gown that was sourced from Chanel’s Spring 1993 haute couture collection helmed by Karl Lagerfeld himself.
Featuring a sweetheart neckline, a see-through corset, Chanel’s signature gold chain-strap detailing, lightweight draping and black boning, the number made for a subtle yet elegant Met Gala aesthetic. The Barbie star frosted the gown with a minimalist touch, adding a pair of square gold drop earrings and two delicate rings to.
A natural, honied beauty blend complemented her blonde beachy curls that were styled in an old-school Hollywood blowout.

She publicly showcased support for Margot’s choice of dress for the 2023 Met Gala, writing via social media: “Ode to Karl. Love seeing this look come back to life #MargotRobbie in @chanelofficial.”

The Chanel ambassador slipped into a strapless mini dress boasting a monochrome colour scheme, a sequinned finish and a jazzy zigzag print that ran horizontally across the glitzy garment.
