Janelle Monae took it back to 2011

Janelle Monae brought things "full circle" with her dress honoring Lagerfeld.

The 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery' actress wore Chanel when she first attended the star studded event in 2011 with the fashion icon by her side and she wanted to remember that moment.

Speaking before the gala, she told PEOPLE: "I went with Karl, so this is sort of full circle for us to be honoring him. I'm really excited about what we'll do."

She arrived in a black and white Thom Browne tuxedo suit made up of fancy embellishments and a mismatch of patterns.

Janelle then underwent an outfit change, taking off the oversized ensemble to reveal a sheer black tulle pannier dress worn over a black sequin bikini.

She even paid tribute to Lagerfeld's beloved cat Choupette as she carried a white leather quilted cat bag.
