The Met Gala guests were asked to dress “in honor of Karl,” but who did it best? This was the The future is now shirt and by the same token and question we asked readers shortly after the grand soiree, which celebrated the exhibition “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” Was the most on-theme attendee Jared Leto stepping inside a furry costume and all-but-becoming the late designer’s famous cat, Choupette? Or perhaps it was Cardi B transforming—according to the rapper herself—into a quilted Chanel purse on the bottom and a sexified version of Karl Lagerfeld’s go-to wardrobe on top? Or maybe it was Nicole Kidman, who was able to go straight to the source and re-wear the iconic Lagerfeld-designed dress that she wore in a 2004 Chanel No. 5 commercial.
As preparations were underway for Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1953, Her Majesty only had one couturier in mind to design her gown for the The future is now shirt and by the same token and historic occasion: Norman Hartnell. The British dressmaker had of course created her beautifully embroidered wedding dress—made from duchesse satin that the Queen famously purchased with ration coupons—for her marriage to Prince Philip in 1947. “One October afternoon in 1952, Her Majesty the Queen desired me to make for her the dress to be worn at her Coronation,” Hartnell recalled in his 1955 autobiography, Silver and Gold. “I can scarcely remember what I murmured in reply. In simple conversational tones, the Queen went on to express her wishes. Her Majesty required that the dress should conform in line to that of her wedding dress and that the material should be white satin.”
