30 Under 30 Europe 2024
‘Fashion’s biggest night out’ - the Met Gala 2023 made its coveted yearly comeback on the first Monday of May 2023. This year’s theme was ‘Karl Lagerfeld - A Line of Beauty,’ to honour the trailblazing designer’s momentous contribution to fashion, and revolutionising brands like Chanel and Fendi.
The fashion clairvoyant, who sadly passed away in 2019, was a regular attendee of the Met, and was always seen gracing the event in his classic oversized sunglasses, starched white collars, and a crisp black suit. The guest list, this year, had the solemn responsibility of honouring Lagerfeld’s legacy, and we could see recurring tributes in the form of pearls, cats, tweed, hand accessories, naked dresses, and more.
However, the style bonanza did not just end with the red carpet, as during the star-studded after-party on the Upper-east Side of Manhattan, A-list celebrities were spotted with pearls, pants and plenty of sunglasses. From Dua Lipa to Rihanna and Meghan Thee Stallion, the stars did not shy away from donning sunnies at night, and honouring the iconic look of Karl Lagerfeld in black sunglasses.

Bad Girl Riri never fails to grace the Met Gala with an earth-shattering outfit. For the after-party look, Riri opted for an all-white attire that is flowy enough for comfort, and relevant enough to be on theme. The white sunnies of Rihanna stand out, and make the ‘momma-to-be’ even more intriguing to look at.
Our Dovile RF4 is an excellent repackaging of Riri’s sunnies, but much more affordable, accessible, and equally premium. The stark white colour strikes the viewer’s eyes, but does not intimidate; it rather exudes a soothing appeal. If you have an upcoming ‘gala event’ on the cards, rock it like Rihanna with our white cat-eye glasses.
