About Met Gala:
The Met Gala is a fundraising event held in New York City to benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The event attracts celebrities and young creatives who stroll the red carpet dressed to impress. It began in 1948 as a social midnight supper and was not even hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It has become one of the most photographed events in the world due to the head-turning outfits celebrities wear.

Met Gala 2023: Theme
The Met Gala 2023, also known as the Met Ball or Met Gala Ball, marks the debut of The Costume Institute's new spring exhibition, Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. The show will be on display from May 5 through July 16 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The theme will honour the late designer Karl Lagerfeld, who left an indelible imprint on luxury fashion over his lengthy career at Chanel, Fendi, and other labels. However, it is a contentious theme - Lagerfeld was known for controversial remarks ranging from #MeToo to curvy bodies.

The dress code for the Met Gala will be "In Honour of Karl." Guests may browse Karl Lagerfeld's extensive archives at Chanel, Fendi, Chloé, Balmain, Patou, and his own label.
