Robbie’s attendance at the event comes just under a week after she joinedBarbiewriter-directorGreta Gerwig, plus costarsRyan GoslingandAmerica Ferrera, to talk about the upcoming movie atCinemaCon 2023in Las Vegas.
Both Gosling, 42, and Robbie rocked coordinating pink looks at the event, with theOscar-nominated actress in a quintessentiallyBarbie two-piece pink gingham Prada set, consisting of a crop top and high-waisted mini skirt.
She paired the perfect-for-the-occasion set with matching pink heels and a gold anklet, with her blonde hair in a side part to show off simple earrings.
Gosling also rocked a pink ensemble, only his came with a bit of camp. TheNotebookstar sported a pink Carhartt coat layered over a white T-shirt with director Gerwig’s name in Barbie font printed across his chest. He paired the pieces with neutral brown trousers and dress shoes.
Notably regarded as the sartorial scene’s equivalent to the Academy Awards, the Met Gala is a highly anticipated event for fashion fans — whether they’re the celebrities and designers gracing the famed staircase or onlookers excitedly watching from their couches at home as they arrive.
The exclusive affair is a fundraising event for the Met’s Costume Institute, formally titled The Anna Wintour Costume Center — named after Vogue’s editor-in-chief, who has been a chair member of the gala since 1995.
Over the years,topics have often teeteredbetween “thematic shows and monographic ones of a single designer,” the Costume Institute’s fashion mastermind Andrew Bolton toldVogue. “We always try to have a menu of shows that are dynamic, that go back and forth on subjects from the past and the present.”
Andthis year’s themeis no different, narrowing in on the latter and spotlighting fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld. Though similar to themes in the past, this year’s decision has generatedmixed reviews from stars and fans alikedue to the late designer’s controversial history.
