Dua Lipa recreates Claudia Schiffer's 1992 vintage Chanel bride look at Met Gala 2023

Singer Dua Lipa walked the red carpet at Met Gala 2023 on May 2 (India) in a vintage Chanel gown in New York City's The Metropolitan Museum of Art for the new exhibition.

As all eyes were on her, Dua Lipa, who co-chaired the event alongside other celebs like Penelope Cruz, from the archives of Chanel, brought forth one of the finest designs by Karl Lagerfeld.

The 2023 Met Gala was hosted in honour of Karl Lagerfeld, the late fashion icon, who died in 2019. The event featured an exhibition of the designer's work with original sketches showcased to the invitees. Dua, who paid tribute to the late designer, wore a tweed vintage bridal gown helmed by Karl himself back in 1992.

The elegant Chanel gown was made in its signature tweed fabric. The ivory outfit had contrasting piping over the neckline and the waist. With strappy detailing and a corset silhouette, the gown extended into a gorgeous billowy skirt and was accompanied by a jacket.

Actress Claudia Schiffer had worn the outfit during Chanel's fall 1992 couture collection. The vintage bridal look was a spectacular gown that Dua Lipa brought to light with her red carpet appearance. Supermodel Claudia Schiffer had walked the ramp for the particular Fall/Winter 1992 fashion show, oozing the sophistication of a Chanel bride.

Interestingly, Alia Bhatt, who marked her Met Gala debut this year, wore an ivory bridal gown replete with over 1 lakh pearls, which was inspired by Claudia Schiffer's 1992 vintage tweed Chanel gown. Alia's gown, however, wasn't by Chanel but by designer Prabal Gurung.

Dua's gown wasn't the only scene-stealing feature of the look, her choice of accessories, too, made the cut. She wore a jaw-dropping necklace featuring Tiffany & Co.'s new legendary diamond, which is set on the label's Lucida Star necklace.

The white diamond is over 100 carats and pays homage to the shape of the iconic yellow Tiffany diamond with its near-identical cushion cut. According to the label, the new white diamond is D-colored, features 82 facets, and is responsibly sourced from Botswana.

The original yellow Tiffany's diamond is 128.54-carat and was found back in 1977 in South Africa's Kimberley diamond mines. Only four celebs have worn the original diamond till now, including Audrey Hepburn, Lady Gaga and Beyonce.
