Charlotte Casiraghi Looked Chic in Black Lace at the 2023 Met Gala

Tonight's Met Gala was graced by royalty. Charlotte Casiraghi, the granddaughter of Grace Kelly, and a member of the Monégasque royal family, attended the Karl Lagerfeld-themed evening.

It makes sense she is in attendance at the event; not only is she a Chanel Ambassador, but she was close with Lagerfeld himself. The late designer, notably, was one of her mentors, as he was a longtime friend of her mother, Princess Caroline of Monaco. "He had a passion for certain women writers," she told Town & Country in her cover story last year. “It's something he really gave me access to at a young age."

In a sleek look, Casiraghi wore a black lace dress on the carpet. Late last year, Chanel creative director Virginie Viard told Town & Country said that Casirgahi "embodies the Chanel allure all while remaining true to her own world."

Casirgahi's typical style, she told T&C, is a far cry from her ensemble tonight. She's more often found in "trainers, T-shirt, and blazer. It’s not that I necessarily like to dress like that, but with children I have no space in my mind to pick a cool outfit."

The royal has been a regular at the Met Gala over the years, but her last Met Gala appearance came in 2019 at the "Notes on Camp"-themed evening. In 2019, she also wore all black, that time opting for a high-low dress by Saint Laurent:

In 2018, she also wore all black to for the "Heavenly Bodies" theme:

It's no surprise, then, that she once again wore all black tonight.
