Daniel Bruhl has the role of a lifetime as one of fashion's most iconic designers in Becoming Karl Lagerfeld. He literally had to walk in the man's shoes to nail it.

The show, which comes to Disney+ in June, follows the ponytailed couturier, whose ice-cold wit and groundbreaking designs for the likes of Fendi and Chanel made him a paragon of fashion up to his death at 85 in 2019.
