Controversy and Fashion: Highlights from the 2023 Met Gala

Actress and body positivity advocate Jameela Jamil has criticized the Met Gala for celebrating Karl Lagerfeld, who was known for making disparaging statements about women, fat people, immigrants, and sexual assault survivors. The gala's theme this year coincided with an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, titled "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty." Jamil called out the selective cancel culture within liberal politics and the fashion industry's disappointing double standard.
