Penelope Cruz was one of the big names at the 2023 Met Gala. Her status as hostess -along with Roger Federer, Dua Lipa and Michaela Coel- was given to her by Anna Wintour thanks to her status as Karl Lagerfeld's muse and her role as muse image of Chanel for many years.
She has been one of the first to reach the grand staircase of the Metropolitan Museum in New York and has done so with the poise and elegance that characterizes her. She in pristine white with a vintage 1988 Chanel wedding dress with a princess cut with large volumes on the skirt and a veil as a hood. With this, the Spanish actress pays tribute to the iconic Chanel brides that so dazzled Lagerfeld.
A sleeveless, sweetheart neckline jewel design with hundreds of sparkling beadings all around the dress. A suit that accentuated the silhouette of Penélope Cruz thanks to a large belt with silver sequins and a ring covered with pearls, one of the most characteristic elements of the French maison and the German Kaiser.
For her hair, she has chosen one of her classic and elegant low updos, with a slight volume at the top and a pristine finish. When asked about the reason for choosing her outfit, the actress confessed that she was hesitating between five designs and that she finally opted for this vintage 1988 model that fascinated her from the first moment.
There was also a little melancholic moment on the steps of the MET when a journalist asked him about the most beautiful moment he remembered with Lagerfeld. "It was a walk that we took one night in Central Park, it was when he presented his last show, in which I had the honor of walking. It was 12 at night, it was like a very romantic walk. I will never forget it."
