Today, May 1, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the eagerly awaited 2023 Met Gala will take place. Every year on the first Monday in May, the annual event is customarily held.
The 2023 Met Gala, the largest night in fashion, is rapidly approaching. And if the fashion spectacular has your attention, we have covered where and how to watch, the theme, and more.
What is the 2023 MET GALA?
The Met Gala is a fundraiser held to generate funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
Celebrities and young creatives attend the event and walk the red carpet in one-of-a-kind ensembles. It began in 1948 as a social midnight supper and was not even held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
It is generally held to coincide with the opening of the museum’s yearly fashion show. The event raises eight-figure sums every single year.
Since 1995, Anna Wintour has coordinated and officiated over the Met Gala, which has become a far-loved yearly fashion extravaganza. Due to celebrities’ bizarre outfits at the event, it has become one of the world’s most photographed occasions.
When is the 2023 Met Gala?
The 2023 Met Gala will be held on Monday, May 1st in New York City. It marks the start of the Costume Institute’s exhibition “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.”
Live reports from inside the Met Gala will keep you up to speed on all the excitement throughout the night.
How can you watch the 2023 Met Gala?
Fans may be able to catch all the events on Vogue’s live stream. On May 1, the red carpet will be streamed worldwide on Vogue.com right through the night and aired live across social media channels (including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter). It will start at 6:30 p.m. EST (May 2, 4:00 am IST).
La La Anthony, Derek Blasberg, Chloe Fineman, and special journalist Emma Chamberlain will co-host the webcast this year.
What is the Theme of the 2023 Met Gala?
The Met Gala 2023, also known as the Met Ball or Met Gala Ball, has featured its theme on Karl Lagerfeld and celebrates the launch of The Costume Institute’s new spring show, Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.
The theme will honor the late designer Karl Lagerfeld, who left a lasting impression on high-end fashion with his lengthy career at Balmain, Chloé, Fendi, and Chanel in addition to founding his own label.
However, Lagerfeld was known for making divisive remarks about everything from #MeToo to curvy bodies, so this theme has also generated a lot of controversy.
Who are the 2023 Met Gala Co-Chairs?
Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa, and Vogue’s Anna Wintour were confirmed as the night’s serves as co-chair on January 18. Since 1995, Anna Wintour has led the Met Gala, transforming it into the big-loved yearly fashion spectacle that it is today.
The Met Gala would appear incomplete sans the presence of Vogue’s editor-in-chief. Expect to see the journalist dressed to the nines and honoring a late and dear friend. Wintour has overseen the event since the year 1995.
