Jessica Chastain paid tribute to Karl Lagerfeld with her look at the 2023 Met Gala held in New York tonight.

“The Eyes of Tammy Faye” actress was clad in a jet-black Gucci dress made of velvet and tulle materials. The garment was comprised of a strapless and fitted tulle bodice that transitioned into a sleek velvet waistline. The skirt of Chastain’s dress swept the floor and was crafted out of layers upon layers of black sheet tulle separated by sheer tulle paneling.

Accompanying her dress, the “Interstellar” star wore large black sunglasses, which she kept on for pictures, paying homage to Chanel’s former creative director’s iconic look, worn with sheer black gloves and shiny jewelry. Chastain wore her striking newfound bleach blond locks down, the change also promoted by the gala’s theme.
As for footwear, Chastain’s could not be seen, however, it is likely she wore a pair of matching black Gucci heels.

Chastain’s shoe style is sleek and glamorous. For special occasions, the entertainer often wears metallic, embellished and color-coordinated platforms, sandals and pumps from a range of luxury brands — including Christian Louboutin, Sophia Webster, Gianvito Rossi and Stuart Weitzman.

The Met Gala raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and celebrates the Costume Institute’s annual exhibits. This year’s theme, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” celebrates the life and career of designer Karl Lagerfeld. The 2023 event is notably co-chaired by Dua Lipa, Roger Federer, Michaela Coel, Penelope Cruz and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
