She was also photographed with Dua Lipa, who also served as co-chair of the 2023 Met Gala. “I knew about this gown before, but when I knew that we were going to have the opportunity to recreate one of the looks from Karl, from any collection from the beginning, it was very tough to decide because I like every single thing he ever did,“ she explained.

“At the end, we were like, there were between five looks, you know, like, to decide - and we decided that this was the one.” The actress also shared her most memorable moment with Karl Lagerfeld. “I will never forget that night,” she said. “It was a walk that we took together in Central Park at night, the night of his last show… It was the show about Egypt.”
