This year’s theme is ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty’
The first Monday in May is here, which means one thing – Met Gala time! Fashion’s biggest night out saw the world’s stars come together to celebrate the Costume Institute’s newest style exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which this year is ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty’.
Countless models, actors and tastemakers arrived in fashion creations in tribute to the late designer – which means you can expect red carpet looks from some of the designer’s famous archives, no doubt, plus some looks inspired by the man himself.
Karl Lagerfeld passed away in 2019 when he was at the helm of Chanel, but he also designed for Fendi, Chloé, Balmain, Patou and his own eponymous brand. He had many muses at Chanel, including Ines De La Fressange, Cara Delevingne and Lily Allen.

It was previously announced that Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa and Vogue editor Anna Wintour are the co-chairs of the 2023 event, and so all were in attendance in show-stopping looks.
Other guests attending the Met Gala this year include Salma Hayek, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez and Billie Eilish. So without further ado, here’s the show-stopping arrival looks from the world’s biggest stars at the 2023 Met Gala…
