This year’s Met Gala theme, “In Honor of Karl,” is controversial because during his lifetime, designer Karl Lagerfeld made comments that were anti-fat, anti-Islam, and critical of women’s bodies.
He also said he was “tired” of the #MeToo movement, sent flowers to an accused rapist, and defended a hairdresser accused of sexual assault. In addition, he wore a mannequin in both yellow and black face.
So, the Met Gala’s decision to honor the designer didn’t sit well with a lot of people. However, plenty of celebrities attended, but many of them subtly shaded Lagerfeld with their clothing choices.
So, without further ado, here are 12 celebs who subtly shaded Karl Lagerfeld by wearing pink at the Met Gala (either on purpose or not):
