The most stunning looks from the 2023 Met Gala red carpet, from Dua Lipa to Quinta Brunson

Some of our favorite looks from the stylish affair.

Celebrities flocked to the red carpet on May 1 to celebrate the 2023 Met Gala. With elaborate themes, expensive tickets and a beautiful backdrop with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Met Gala is always something to behold.

This year was no different as everyone from co-host Dua Lipa to director Taika Waititi attempted to fit the theme of “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.”  Dua Lipa nailed it, paying homage to the dress Claudia Schiffer wore on the runway at Lagerfeld’s 1994 Chanel show.

What time is the Met Gala 2023 red carpet? How to watch, stream online

Here’s everything you need to know to about tonight’s Met Gala red carpet.

The 2023 Met Gala gets underway on May 1, bringing a parade of celebrities to New York City as the Metropolitan Museum of Art puts on its elaborate fundraiser. This year’s theme — “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” — honors the controversial designer that spent decades in the field.

Stars will begin arriving on the red carpet at 6:30 p.m. ET, and the entire affair will be streamed online at Vogue.com. You can also check out the stream on Teen Vogue.

This year’s hosts include Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour along with co-chairs actresses Penélope Cruz and Michaela Coel, tennis star Roger Federer and pop icon Dua Lipa.

What is the 2023 Met Gala theme?

Here is what each guest will be trying to achieve with tonight’s star-studded affair.

The stars will hit the red carpet on May 1 for the 2023 edition of the Met Gala. This year, the theme for the event — which takes place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City — honors one of the legendary but controversial fashion icons in Karl Lagerfeld.

“Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” is the official theme title, and will accompany an exhibition at the museum. From the official description:

“Focusing on the designer’s stylistic vocabulary as expressed in aesthetic themes that appear time and again in his fashions from the 1950s to his final collection in 2019, the show will spotlight the German-born designer’s unique working methodology.”

Lagerfeld, who spent decades in fashion but is probably most well-known for his time at Chanel, is considered a problematic figure by some. He repeatedly made fat-phobic and misogynistic comments, and even statements against immigration in his home country of Germany.

While the official guest list is private, stars like Serena Williams, Billie Eilish, Zendaya and Lady Gaga have previously stunned at the event. Unfortunately, it seems one of the annual best-dressed honorees — Blake Lively — won’t be making it this year.

You can watch the red carpet stream at Vogue’s website starting at 6:30 p.m ET.

Met Gala: From Tom Brady to Serena Williams, 39 athletes who have dazzled at the glamorous event

So many athletes have walked the red carpet.

[NOTE: We’ve updated this 2022 post for this year.]

The 2023 Met Gala is here Monday night, with stars from all over the planet dressing in their finest attire and making headlines for either blowing everyone’s minds … or wearing something very outlandish.

Athletes have been a part of the event a bunch — Tom Brady has appeared a lot, Cam Newton has walked the red carpet, and although Russell Wilson wasn’t there in 2021, Ciara worke a dress that was a shoutout to the then-Seahawks QB.

So before the 2023 edition, let’s look back over the years at athletes at the New York City event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art:

LOOK: Ciara shines in color-rush Russell Wilson outfit at Met Gala

Last night, Ciara repped her husband by wearing a color rush-themed Wilson outfit at the Met Gala in New York City.

Not every celebrity power couple is likeable. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his singer/fashion icon/entrepreneur wife Ciara are right up there among our favorites, though. It’s hard to find a more loving and mutually-supporting couple in the public eye.

Last night, Ciara repped her husband by wearing a color rush-themed Wilson outfit at the Met Gala in New York City.

Naturally, Wilson was proud and tweeted his approval.
