There was also Charlotte Casiraghi to the Met Gala 2023which a Karl Lagerfeld, to whom the event was dedicated, was very close. Charlotte, who thanks to Lagerfeld became Chanel’s muse, walked the red carpet alone, paying homage to her mother Carolina’s lifelong friend: the two met in 1970, when the princess was just sixteen, thanks to a photo shoot For US Vogue which was held in the Kaiser’s Parisian apartment on the Place Saint-Sulpice.
Over time, Lagerfeld has also become a family member for Charlotte and her siblings, accustomed to his presence since childhoodas told by the princess herself in an interview with Point de Vuefollowing the designer’s death in 2019. «He was at home the day before I gave birth to Andrea, he took a picture of me on the stairs. She was there when they were born », Carolina revealed, for them her disappearance was “a family mourning”. And Charlotte, in a Chanel total look, couldn’t have remembered her friend better on the Met red carpet. To him, by her own admission, she owes a lot, and not just in terms of fashion; the love of philosophy and literature, above all. Karl gave her books when she, very young, spent her summer holidays in La Vigie, the neoclassical villa on the French Riviera where she married Dimitri Rassam in 2019. “She had a passion for some female writers,” Charlotte recently recalled to Town & Country, a passion she too soon appreciated, “It’s something she made me discover at a young age.”
That of 2023 was not Casiraghi’s first Met Gala. Charlotte can certainly be counted among the habitue, Anna Wintour’s guest in 2016, 2018 and 2019. But she is certainly not the first royal to tread the prestigious red carpet. In 2018 it was the turn of Beatrice of York, while in 2016 and 2006 it is remembered Rania of Jordan. The most memorable participation, however, remains that of Lady Diana, in 1996. The Princess of Wales, at the time, was at the height of notoriety and beauty. The royals, at the Met, add an extra touch. Forever.
