Happy first Monday in May! The 2023 Met Gala red carpet is officially underway at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year, the annual affair celebrates the exhibition “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” The gala will honor the legacy of Lagerfeld—the late designer who helmed fashion houses such as Chanel, Fendi, and his own eponymous line—and raise funds for The Met’s Costume Institute.
Just as important as the exhibition, of course, is the star-studded red carpet spectacle that will take place as guests make their way up the famous Met steps. After all, the Met Gala—often dubbed the “Super Bowl of fashion”—has created some of the most memorable (and viral) celebrity red carpet looks from the past decade. This year, the A-list attendees were asked to dress “in honor of Karl”—meaning you’re bound to see some custom ensembles that pay homage to Lagerfeld’s design signatures, including his Chanel tweeds and his own black-and-white uniform.
Who will walk the Met Gala red carpet tonight? This year’s official Met Gala co-hosts will all be present, including Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa, and Vogue’s Anna Wintour. You’ll just have to watch to find out the rest of the guest list—though you can expect a mix of top actors, singers, athletes, models, and artists.
