Don’t worry, Olivia Wilde is keeping her cool. The Booksmart director shared her reaction after turning up to the 2023 Met Gala on May 1 in a dress that matched one worn by fellow guest Margaret Zhang.

“Great minds,” Olivia wrote on her Instagram Story May 2 alongside a side-by-side image of the pair in their Karl Lagerfeld-inspired gowns. “If you’re gonna twin with anyone, make it @margaretzhang.” The Vogue China editor reposted the positive message and added, “CUE THE STRINGS.”

Both stars wore cutout dresses with a gold violin motif, which were inspired by one of the late designer’s 1983 pieces to fit with the Met Gala theme “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” Olivia rocked a white version of the gown by Chloé designer Gabriela Hearst, while Margaret opted for a black iteration of the look on the red carpet. Chloé reimagined Karl’s design with a cape, embroidery and golden beads to form a “trompe l’oeil” or optical illusion image of a violin.

“Throughout the 1980s, in tune with the times, Lagerfeld’s collections put a playful yet elegant spin on themes ranging from music to home appliances,” the label wrote on Instagram.

“The embellishments of the original ‘Angkor’ dress’ – now on display at the #ALineOfBeauty retrospective – were inspired by a 17th century Italian violin crafted by luthier Nicola Amati, and calls to mind the famous photograph ‘Le Violon d’Ingres’ by the surrealist artist, Man Ray. ” Chloé also dressed Vanessa Kirby and Maude Apatow for the charity event, benefitting the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
