Anna Wintour and the fashion girlies celebrated International Workers Day with a star-studded gala.

The theme of this years Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute exhibition was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.

Yes, including Choupette.

Last years theme, the Gilded Age, was mostly considered a flop.

Too many attendees confused the Gilded Age (Titanictimes) with rococo or baroque (Marie Antoinette times).

Luckily, Lagerfelds era is much easier to understand, if only because its so recent.

Pastels, lace, Chanel suits, pearls, sunglasses, fans: all on theme.

Being a Chanel bride in the 2000s was one of the highest honors a model could achieve.

Here are the best (and most … interesting) looks of the night.

Laura Palmer, Guest of Honor?

Shes at the Carlyle.Wrapped in plastic.

Hes the baby that GoJo and Waystar Royco never had!

And many stars used their fits to communicate just how close they were to him.

For example, Nicole Kidman wore her Chanel No.

I have the sketches when he was drawing it, she told La La Anthony on theVoguelivestream.

I knew him very, very well.

Lea Michele described the whole event as a wedding between my friends Anna and Karl.

Even David Byrne wore white, though it sort of looked like he was marrying his bicycle.

And why shouldnt he?

Ice Spice told La La Anthony that she had been nervous until she heard the fans screaming.

Doja really went with the Cat in her stage name, donning prosthetics to look like Choupette.

And it was literally babys first carpet for both Serena Williamss and Karlie Klosss unborn children.

Both ladies made their pregnancy announcements on the red carpet.

Kim Kardashian couldnt get North West in, but Northie did get to do the Carlyle-to-car pap walk.

Chanel ambassador and former Lagerfeld muse K-Stew was always going to attend this gala.

But R-Pattz is there too?

Is anyone else from theTwilightsagathere?

I need eyes on Bryce Dallas Howard,stat.

Lizzo was all of us.

And Lil Nas X had only one comment toVarietyon his bejeweled Choupette: Meow.

Okay, but that is Boygenius.
