Fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld passed away on Tuesday at the age of 85 after being ill for some time in France. Apart from his quirky style statement, Lagerfeld was notorious for his sharp tongue and interesting takedown of famous people.

However, his remarks were often on the wrong side of being politically incorrect, and he elicited criticism and praise for his no-holds barred opinions.

In the last couple of years, Lagerfeld described British singer Adele as being "too fat" though he added that her voice is "divine."

His sharp and merciless tongue also called out the #MeToo movement by saying he was "fed up" with models and actresses talking about the sexual harassments that they had faced.
