Sofia Coppola has attended the Met Gala organized by Anna Wintour on the first Monday in May more than once and faithfully following what the organization has established has not always been her thing. 11 years ago she adapted the punk theme to wearing pajamas, and on the arm of designer Marc Jacobs, to the red carpet. She nailed it. In 2017 the Metropolitan paid tribute to Rei Kawakubo, from Comme des Garcons, and she performed it in a long gold dress. And when in 2018 the theme revolved around religion, she attended the appointment with a black short-sleeved blouse and navy blue baggy pants. A year later she remembered Karl Lagerfeld, along with the other Chanel girls, Charlotte Casiraghi and Kristen Stewart, with a black and white outfit without pearls or big stories. Everything restrained, very Sofia.
He dress code which in 2024 took us to a garden of time and a reawakening of fashion for the film director has been a twist to timelessness, and nothing like the brand of which she is the image to demonstrate her thesis: Chanel.
Sofia Coppola has that innate elegance capable of defending the most basic white t-shirt any day in any setting. And that super power is the same one that made her renounce the label established by Anna Wintour and yet, without baroque adornments, without literal references to nature, she finished the red carpet as one of the best dressed.
Sofia Coppola is wearing a classic Chanel two-piece and black heels and bracelets, with velvety toes and a tiny buckle that ties them together. The texture, yes, is in the tweed, lighter than ever, and as elegant as ever. The woman who dressed Marie Antoinette in colors sheds them on the night of fantasy. It’s 100% her.
