Celebrities Attend The 2023 Met Gala

The 2023 Met Gala is in full swing and celebs are slaying and sizzling the carpet in real-time.

As previously reported this year’s Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Gala theme is celebrating “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty” as requested by Anna Wintour.

This year guests were asked to follow the dress code of “In honor of Karl…” ahead of the opening of The Costume Institute’s new spring exhibition, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” on view at the museum from May 5 to July 16, reports Vogue. 

Guests were asked to dress in a variety of silhouettes, collections, and concepts that pay homage to Lagerfield’s work at various luxury fashion houses including Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi, Chanel, and his own Karl Lagerfeld brand.

Let’s take a look at the carpet as the looks continue to roll in.
