WhileEmily Bluntdid not wear Prada to the2023 Met Gala, she did make mention of it!
The actress, 40, wore a white, floral long-sleeve lace top with a high neck — similar to the tall, stiff collars Lagerfeld was known to wear. Her bottom half resembled a tuxedo, but in dress form.
She topped the look off with several pieces of Piaget jewelry and a large bow at her top’s neckline, serving a glamorous take on black-tie attire.

Red-carpet hostChloe Finemanhad some fun with Blunt when she asked a question quotingThe Devil Wears Prada, the 2006 film that starred the actress alongsideMeryl StreepandAnne Hathaway.
“Are you just one stomach flu away from your goal weight?” asked theSaturday Night Livestar, 34, citing the exact quote Blunt’s character said in the film.
The actress responded, “I wish I was. I ate a pizza because I thought, ‘Well, I’m covered up, so I’ll be all right,’ " adding with a laugh, “And then I tried to put on my skinny pants … "
Although Blunt’s longtime husbandJohn Krasinskiwasn’t in attendance, she stepped out alongside another special person to celebrate fashion’s biggest night: Kors.
For his part, the 63-year-old designer kept his look simple yet sophisticated in a classic black-and-white tuxedo.

When speaking with Fineman andDerek Blasbergon the red carpet, Kors explained the thought process behind Blunt’s look.
“It was all about dichotomy tonight. I think Karl loved romantic, but he also loved something a little edgy and nasty,” he said. “I just love the idea of throwing it off with the overskirt with really narrow skinny cigarette trousers.”
“And then, of course, it’sthe night for flowers… and white shirts!” he added.
When asked about his relationship withLagerfeld, who died in February 2019at the age of 85, Kors said he does “indeed” remember him.
“Whenever I have a day where I think to myself … I always kind of remember Karl, who was just this machine of creativity, energy, humor, all of that together. He stayed curious,” Kors said. “He had such great, great wit, and really had such charm.”
