This year's Met Gala theme, "In honor of Karl," is considered controversial because, during his lifetime, designer Karl Lagerfeld made comments that were anti-fat, anti-Islamic, and critical of women's bodies.
He also said he was "fed up" with the #MeToo movement, sent flowers to an accused rapist, and defended a stylist who was accused of sexual assault. Additionally, he dressed a model in both yellowface and blackface.

So, the Met Gala's decision to honor the designer didn't sit well with a lot of people. Still, a lot of celebs attended, but several of them subtly shaded Lagerfeld through their outfit choices.
As you may have noticed, most attendees wore white or black to this year's Met Gala, but some wore another eye-catching color that Lagerfeld wouldn't have approved of. According to fashion writer Patrick Mauriès's book The World According to Karl, he once said, "Think pink. But don't wear it."
So, without further ado, here are 12 celebs who subtly shaded Karl Lagerfeld by wearing pink to the Met Gala (whether intentionally or not):
1. Viola Davis in Valentino
2. Quannah Chasinghorse in Prabal Gurung with Vex Latex opera gloves
3. Ashley Graham in Harris Reed
4. Quinta Brunson in Prabal Gurung
5. Sydney Sweeney in Miu Miu
6. Harvey Guillén in Christian Siriano
7. Chloe Fineman in Wiederhoeft
8. Karen Elson in Christian Siriano
9. Naomi Campbell in 2010 Chanel
10. Gwendoline Christie in Fendi
11. Jennifer Lopez in Ralph Lauren
12. And finally, Cardi B in Miss Sohee (though she changed into a black and white dress before hitting the carpet)
