Paris Hilton remembers Karl Lagerfeld

A night before the Met museum officially rolls out its red carpet, Paris Hilton took to her Instagram handle to express her fondness towards the man himself and the theme for this year's event. The Met Gala this year, will be honouring the legendary designer by paying homage through its themed exhibition, 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty'. Paris shared a series of throwback photos showing her huddled with Karl as they both posed for the shutterbugs. 

One of the images also featured Karl whispering something in Paris' ear as the latter struck an amused reaction. While Paris is dressed in a muted eggshell pink summer gown with a ribbonned-waist and sequinned tulle sleeves in frilly maggi sleeves, Karl stayed transfixed in time with his classic starched collars, this time in black, the fingerless gloves, dark glasses and his powdered ponytail. He strayed from the usual, with a midnight blue bow tie in satin. Paris' caption for the photos enunciated how much she was inspired by the fashion visionary. She also stated her appreciation of the fact that this year's theme was honouring him. Paris' note read, "Karl has always been a fashion inspiration to me. Such an icon and innovator. Love that he is the theme of this years #MetGala."
