What exactly is the Met Gala
For those unaware, the Met Gala, also known as “fashion’s biggest night out,” is a benefit for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The event attracts celebrities, young creatives, and industry titans. The annual fundraiser first took place in 1948. Eleanor Lambert, a publicist, came up with the idea to raise funds for the newly opened Costume Institute exhibit.
Met Gala 2023 Theme
The theme for this year is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” which is based on a new Costume Institute exhibition of the iconic designer’s work.
Lagerfeld, who died in 2019 at the age of 85, spent decades designing clothes for Balmain, Patou, Chloe, Fendi, and Chanel, as well as his own label. As a result, celebrities are likely to pay tribute to Karl Lagerfeld on the red carpet.
