This dress was worn in the Chanel Number 5 commercial
that Bas Loman and I did with Karl,
who concocted this out of his head.
So to be able to honor him and wear this dress now,
that's what I love.
Dua Lipa is here with me.
Now, this is crazy. [Dua Lipa laughing]
This is a very special Tiffany necklace.
This dress is a very special dress.

Wow.
The Patrimony at Chanel was very kind
and allowed me to borrow it for tonight.
I'm wearing Chanel.
This is actually- Gorgeous.
Yeah, this dress was worn by Cindy Crawford in 1993.
Oh, wow.
They remade it for me, and it's obviously a Karl design.
And I feel really great in it actually.
And you look absolutely stunning.
Thank you.
I'm at a loss of words,
and I'm drunk in your presence. [laughs]
And when you came into the shot here,
you said that there's a certain way that you can pose
in this dress. Yes.
[laughs] I did.
You're gonna make me say it right now, aren't you?
Yes, I wanna know.
There's just something about this dress
that makes you kinda want to hit it.
And look. Just kinda want to hit it.
Get a little Rosa Leo going on in your head

People look amazing.
Everyone's turned out so well. It's awesome.
This whole look is unbelievable.
I'm like blinded by this necklace you're wearing.
An opening dress with a snake like your ties.
You're very, you're on theme, Nick Jonas.
Always on theme, Nick Jonas. [co-host laughing]
What is this moment like for you?
It means everything just to be here with my wife
and just able to be here.
Get to see this event a lot,
and to actually live it, it's amazing.
Calvin Klein has styled myself.
Did the thing with that?
And my beautiful wife, and they have done an amazing job.
I mean, we are, it is dripping off of us right now.
Absolutely. Yeah, that's it.
That's it. It's dripping off of you.
I like that, it's dripping off of you guys.
Now I'm gonna go out there and say
this is one of my favorite looks of the night.
Tell us about this look
I am wearing Schiaparelli,
and we can see the homages to Karl here in the chain
and the lips and the clutching of the pearls.
I just love this.
There's 130,000 crystals.
130,000 crystals, guys.
26,000 mixed stones,
and over 3,800 hours of work to make the dress.
Wow. Yeah.
You're always one of the most talked about people here
on the Met Gala red carpet.
Do you feel pressure to outdo yourself every year?
This year, I just wanted to feel glamorous.
I really didn't feel the pressure.
Who designed this?
This is Daniel for Schiaparelli,
and you know, I wanted pearls.
I thought, What is more Karl?
You know, the iconic Chanel pearls
is what I always thought of.
So we wanted to just be dripping in pearls.
The kids. Some popped on the way,
and I told my daughter to grab them all.
They're real pearls,
and she was putting 'em all in her purse.
Are they real pearls? They are.
Let's talk about how it feels
to be at your first Met Gala.
You know, I was like really nervous
approaching the carpet. Right.
And once I heard everybody screaming,
I was like, I felt better.
Tell us about your look 'cause you look so good.
Thank you. This is Balmain.
Super last minute, but we did it.
We here. Can y'all see? You did it.
You did it, you did it.
Okay, okay. Everybody see that?
[upbeat music]
Shut down the carpet.
It's hot out there.
Caresha, Yung Miami is here.
Puff AKA Love AKA Diddy. Yes, yes, yes.
We are in the building.
This is what I'm wearing, this Sean John cape.
Nah, this cape is cra...
Like the detail on this cape is crazy.
Shout out to June Ambrose. Wow.
You know, the first Sean John collection,
so it's a little hot.
I just feel so excited to be here
with the legend, Marc Jacobs.
Just loving the dress that he made for me tonight.
The dress is absolutely stunning.
Marc, tell us about this dress.
So I thought like, well, maybe it would be interesting
and exciting to see her in a black gown.
You know, 'cause it's not typical for Paris.
So we approached her with the idea,
and then we added the idea of leather
and she was all game and everything.
And then she had some comments,
like, I need a little sparkle
and Could you make this fabric here?
Right.
And we worked together and made it happen,
and she looks fantastic.
Kendall is here, Kylie's here,
my best friend Kim is here shutting it down.
I'm so happy to be here for Karl
and just for the theme and for the Met.
I'm so happy. I'm wearing Mark Jacobs.
I am wearing Haider JPG, Haider Ackerman.
Gorgeous, gorgeous.
And I am wearing Schiaparelli.
Kendall really started her beginning of her modeling career
with Karl and was the bride in so many of his shows.
And I would just sit and watch them.
And I mean, my first fashion shoot ever, Karl shot it.
So it's so special.
I owe a lot to him.
And I started working with him when I was really young
and really new and he really embraced me.
So I'm honored to be here.
I'm honored to celebrate him and it's awesome.
My goodness.
You look like a dream and a vision.
Tell us about this look.
Vivian Westwood designed my outfit, Andreas.
I met Karl when I was 13.
My first fashion show ever was 2011 fall Chanel Ho Couture.
And after the show, he selected me to be someone
to be in The Little Black Jacket book.
And from that, you know, that book,
he kind of styled everyone in, you know, the way
that he kind of saw them and wanted to see them.
And I was 13 and young and I had a little white dress on.
And he kept my dress on,
and all he put on me was a daisy crown.
And so I'm like, this is how Karl wants me to look.
And here it is. Fresh as a daisy.
Bridal, like Chanel Bride.
Yes. Come on.
Nothing better, right?
Yes, yes. Wow.
It's a big night tonight.
It is a big night, yeah.
A lot of emotions, honestly.
I cried on the way here a little bit.
So this is like his iconic white shirts
and a lot of Chrome Heart's jewelry.
This is by Karl Lagerfeld.
He's like looking into the future.
He really like did so many things.
We did this amazing women's march,
and I think also this one of, you know,
one of his last shows that we did.
And it was like at The Ski Chalet,
and like all the girls, we were all crying and holding hands
and it just felt like such a moment.
But he is one of those people that no matter where he is
he's always there.
