Tonight, the most highly anticipated fashion event of the year will take place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The 2023 Met Gala, an annual fundraising benefit for the Costume Institute, promises to celebrate the late fashion icon, Karl Lagerfeld. The theme for this year's exhibition is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," which will showcase his incredible body of work throughout his life.
As the event is known for its extravagant red carpet looks, attendees have been given the dress code "In Honor of Karl," allowing them to draw inspiration from Lagerfeld's extensive portfolio of designs for fashion houses such as Fendi, Chanel, Balmain, and Chloé. Last year's theme, "Gilded Glamor," was a nod to a significant era in American fashion, and this year's event promises to be equally exciting, with guests expected to showcase some unforgettable fashion moments.
Vogue will be hosting the Met Gala live stream, which will begin at 6:30 pm EST on May 1st (1:30 am EAT on May 2nd), and will be broadcasted across their social media channels, including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter pages. Although the actual gala is a private event, viewers can still watch the red carpet live on Vogue's website and social media platforms.
The guest list for the Met Gala is always kept secret until the stars arrive, adding to the event's air of anticipation and excitement. However, rumors suggest that this year's guest list could include stars such as Kim Kardashian, Billie Eilish, Kendall Jenner, Rihanna, Gigi Hadid, Naomi Campbell, Blackpink's Rose and Jennie, Lily-Rose Depp, and Bollywood beauties Priyanka Chopra and Alia Bhatt. Unfortunately, Blake Lively, known for her internet-breaking red-carpet looks, will not be in attendance.
With so much buzz surrounding the Met Gala 2023, fashion lovers all over the world are eagerly awaiting this evening's festivities.
