All The Details You Need To Know About The 2023 Met Gala

by admin · April 26, 2023

The event on Monday, May 1 celebrates the history of famed designer Karl Lagerfeld in a star-studded event.

The year’s most anticipated fashion event, The Met Gala, is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to find out all the details!

The Met Gala is a charity event organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Its first edition was held in 1948, although themes for the dress code were introduced in 1973. Since 1995, the gala has been co-directed by Anna Wintour, the famous editor of Vogue magazine.

The gala precedes a fashion exhibition organized by the museum. First, a red carpet is held with celebrities of all kinds, followed by a dinner where funds are raised for the annual budget of the Costume Institute for future exhibitions.

Each year commemorates the theme of the exhibition of the Costume Institute. Therefore, the expo marks the theme for the evening dress, as guests dress up based on that dress code theme, which makes the event a spectacle that attracts the attention of fashion lovers. It is also a platform for many brands or renowned luxury designers to show their work. They choose a celebrity to dress up, and that celeb will be in charge of showing off their work on the red carpet.

As every year, the MET Gala will be held on the first Monday of May, so we expect a great night as it is known for being one of the most anticipated red carpets for the celebrities who attend and the way they adapt their looks to the theme of the MET Gala.

WHEN IS THE 2023 MET GALA?

The event will take place next Monday, May 1 in New York City under the theme “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”. The Met Gala 2023 will be live streamed exclusively on Vogue magazine’s digital platforms.

WHAT IS THE 2023 MET GALA THEME?

The celebrity dress code is defined each year with a different theme and is obviously related to the world and history of fashion. The theme of the MET Gala 2023, as previously mentioned, is Karl Lagerfeld, paying tribute to the legendary fashion designer who died in 2019. And, of course, it comes as no surprise that the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art has chosen a mastermind in the world of fashion as Karl.

Considered one of the most influential designers and known as the “Kaiser of fashion,” Lagerfeld started out as artistic director at Jean Patou and then led creative direction at Balmain, Chloé, Fendi, Chanel, and his own label. “He was the greatest intellectual in fashion and one of the best people I knew in virtually any field. His genius centred on the fact that he always managed to surpass his previous achievements,” said Anna Wintour.

While Karl Lagerfeld left much to be desired in terms of values, putting hegemonic beauty above all else and with more than controversial maxims and sayings, if it comes to seeing design and fashion, having him as a muse can bring nothing but genius.

WHO IS ATTENDING THE 2023 MET GALA?

The main organizer of the event is Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine.

This year, the organization announced as co-hosts Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, British singer Dua Lipa, Swiss tennis player Roger Federer and Michaela Coel, winner of BAFTA and Emmy awards for her performance in the series I May Destroy You. In addition, those who want to be present at the gala must not only pay a donation of at least $50,000, according to the NYT, but must also have the approval of Wintour, who as organizer approves the invitations.
