The Met Gala's starry carpet was on fire with vintage haute couture Monday (May 1) as Dua Lipa walked in a Chanel ballgown from the fashion house's archive and Nicole Kidman chose a look Karl Lagerfeld himself made for her 20 years ago.

But elegant wasn't entirely the hallmark of the evening. Jared Leto dressed as Choupette, the beloved fluffy cat of Lagerfeld, the evening's honouree. Lil Nas X went full cat covered in crystals by Pat McGrath and Dior Men.
