The guest list for the event is rumoured to include Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Keira Knightley. Fashion magazine Vogue said the Metier d'Arts is traditionally attended by the toast of the fashion world and is set to be "Lagerfeld's most spectacular to date".

Lagerfeld handpicked Linlithgow Palace, birthplace of Mary, Queen of Scots, for the show.
