He also said he was “fed up” with the #MeToo movement,sent flowersto an accused rapist, anddefendeda stylist who was accused of sexual assault. Additionally, hedresseda 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 blackto 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 bookThe 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):
