Last night, Karl Lagerfeld brought a taste of Central Europe to the Upper East Side when he recreated the "balls-to-the-wall decadent" Chanel Métiers d'Art show at the Park Avenue Armory. Since Racked's invitation was most certainly lost in the mail—that still happens these days, right?—we turned to the Internet to glean the most important details from the show that brought out the likes of Dakota Johnson, Julianne Moore (in light-up shoes, no less), and Beyoncé.
Guests watched the show from what looks like the fanciest chairs ever.
Based on the seating layout, sometimes models could take you by surprise.
Pretzels almost too pretty to eat (but only almost) were served.
Pharrell continued to dress like a little drummer boy. Wife Helen Lasichanh looks less than pleased about it.
The outfit later took to the stage with Cara Delevingne to sing about...something. Chanel, we assume.
Beyoncé and her fierce legs showed up. Cold snap be damned.
Somebody interrupted Anna Wintour's conversation with Vogue February cover star, Dakota Johnson. Don't interrupt Anna Wintour's conversation with Vogue February cover star Dakota Johnson.
Karl did a pretty spot-on Anna impression when Eva Chen showed him Lucky magazine's "summer issue" featuring his little Choupette.
Karl darlings Cara and Kendall Jenner closed the show—unless you count Karl's little friend here as the last model standing.
And of course, Mama Kris wasn't too far away.
