“Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” on May 1, which will honor the fashion designer, who died in 2019 aged 85.But the theme didn’t sit well with “The Good Place” star, who rushed to Instagram to share some choice words about Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour’s selected theme.Sharing a black-and-white portrait of the late German designer, the 36-year-old actress simply wrote, “Nope.”“Karl Lagerfeld is the theme for the entire Met Gala next year,” she captioned her post. “This man… was indeed, supremely talented, but used his platform in such a distinctly hateful way, mostly towards women, so repeatedly and up until the last years of his life, showing no remorse, offering no atonement, no apology, no help to groups he attacked… there was no explanation for his cruel outbursts.”“Those groups were women who were sexually assaulted, the entire me too movement, gay couples who wanted to adopt, all fat people, specifically fat women, and some of his greatest harm was against Muslim refugees, and the disgusting way he spoke about people fleeing their homes for fear of their lives,” she went on.“Why is THIS who we celebrate when there are so many AMAZING designers out there who aren’t bigoted white men? What happened to everyone’s principles and ‘advocacy.’ You don’t get to stand for justice in these areas, and then attend the celebration of someone who reveled in his own public disdain for marginalized people.”A post shared by Jameela Jamil (@jameelajamil)“Sorry, but no.

She also encouraged her followers to swipe through her photos for receipts, highlighting how Lagerfeld fat-shamed women, criticized the #MeToo movement and made some questionable comparisons between the Holocaust and immigration.On a subsequent slide where she posted a quote from Lagerfeld about sexual harassment in light of the #MeToo movement, Jamil acknowledged that “saying this probably ends [her] relationship with vogue.”“I’m amazed to see the entire met gala and all the famous celebrities and models celebrating someone who said this s— about women so often,” she wrote, followed by a Lagerfeld quote she cut from a 2018 Numéro Magazine piece, which reads, “If you don’t want your pants pulled about, don’t become a model! Join a nunnery, there’ll always be a place for you in the convent.”The latter half of Jamil’s caption again called into question Met Gala organizers’ specific choice amidst so many others who aren’t “bigoted white men.”“What happened to everyone’s principles and ‘advocacy,’” she wrote.

Vogue noted, Lagerfeld often said fashion did not belong in a museum, but was meant for wearing.“Karl never tired of telling me that fashion did not belong in a museum,” Costume Institute’s Wendy Yu Curator in Charge, Andrew Bolton, told the magazine. When we worked on the Chanel show together he was incredibly generous in what he lent, but he was completely disinterested in the exhibition itself! He would say ‘fashion is not art — fashion belongs on the street, on women’s bodies, on men’s bodies.’”The snazzy and swanky bash will bring together wealth, fashion, A-list stars, viral moments and designers for one night only in 2023.Products from Lagerfeld’s tenures as creative director of Fendi, Chloé and Chanel will be displayed.
