5x striking Met looks

Last week, the red ''Met carpet'' was rolled out again at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This year's gala was themed around Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. This is to honor the legacy of the deceased designer. Familiar America once again turned out well. MASTERS lists a number of striking outfits from the most extravagant fashion party of the year.

The actor and singer wowed audiences with his Balmain look featuring a hand-drawn illustration by the late designer. Many called the actor's outfit the perfect way to honor him. The cape consists of 5000 (!) meters of silk chiffon and was made by a total of 70 people. To complete the look, he opted for simple black flared trousers.
