The MET Gala, also famous as the Costume Institute Benefit, is an annual fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. The event has been held since 1948 and is one of the most prestigious fashion events in the world, drawing high-profile guests from the worlds of fashion, entertainment, and culture. This year MET Gala 2023 is slated for May 1, 2023.
Each year, the MET Gala has a specific theme that sets the tone for the evening’s dress code. The theme is usually based on the museum’s current exhibition and is designed to inspire guests to create unique and innovative outfits that reflect the theme’s concept.
The MET Gala is known for its over-the-top outfits and avant-garde fashion choices. Celebrities and fashion icons often wear elaborate and daring designs by top designers, and the event is considered a showcase of the latest trends and styles.

Memorable Themes of the MET Gala
Many of the themes are memorable of past MET Galas. Some of them are “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” in 2018, “China: Through the Looking Glass” in 2015, and “Punk: Chaos to Couture” in 2013.
In the MET Gala 2022 it took 275,000 bright pink roses to adorn the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Met Gala, the biggest night in fashion and one of the biggest concentrations of star power anywhere.
List of Celebrity Guests at MET Gala 2023
It is the carpet itself that draws the world’s eyes, with the celebrity guests list — strategically withheld until the last minute — introducing a collection of celebrities from movies, music, fashion, sports, politics, and social media that questionably makes for the highest celebrity of any party in the world.
Some of the most famous celebrities associated with the MET Gala include Beyoncé, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Kim Kardashian. The event has also been attended by fashion icons such as Anna Wintour, Donatella Versace, and Karl Lagerfeld.

MET Gala 2023 Theme Speaking of the MET Gala 2023’s theme, it’s something new this time. The topic for this year is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” which was inspired by the recently opened Costume Institute exhibition showcasing the legendary designer’s creations. We may probably expect to see unique outfits from the late design legend’s six-decade career make their way up the Met steps on some famous names since celebrity attendees have been requested to dress “in honor of Karl.”
And while each year’s awards season may produce several noteworthy fashion moments, nothing comes close to the full-on fashion feast offered by Vogue’s most illustrious event.
