The Met Gala has given us extravagant and iconic looks throughout its history, so it’s no surprise that this May 1, 2023, it will also surprise us with its fashion show.
What is the Met Gala 2023 theme and what does it mean?
This edition of the fashion celebration is titled “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” and seeks to be a tribute to the German designer who passed away in 2019.
Although the figure of the German was controversial in some respects, his work was fruitful, as he was in charge of important fashion houses such as Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi, Chanel and one of his own, with the same name.
While it’s not mandatory for Met Gala guests to follow the theme, in recent years many celebrities have chosen to wear their own interpretation.
For this year’s edition of the fashion event, you can expect dresses that reinterpret the designer’s most representative looks, archive pieces from the brands he worked for, as well as various pieces from the materials he often used, such as tweed, pearls, leathers , including.
Which celebrities will attend the 2023 Met Gala?
The list of celebrities invited to the Met Gala is determined by Vogue magazine, especially its editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, and the names listed are kept secret.
Even so, there are some reports of who received an invite, in addition to the fact that some stars have already publicly confirmed or denied their attendance.
For example, Kim Kardashian will be present, despite the controversy caused by the Marilyn Monroe dress she wore to the 2022 Met Gala. This was confirmed with a post on Instagram, in which she assured that she had visited Karl Lagerfeld’s office “to get some inspiration’ for the 2023 event.
Rihanna, another red carpet favourite, also appeared to confirm her attendance at the 2023 Met Gala with a ‘post’ on the same social network, in which she was seen wearing a black and white Chanel look, captioning which she wrote: No it’s even Monday’ (the event is celebrated on the first Monday of May every year).
TMZ reported on April 27 that Paris Hilton will be another guest, marking her debut at the event.
Other celebrities confirmed to attend the Met Gala 2023 include: Elle Fanning, Amanda Seyfried, Rita Ora, Janelle Monáe, Priyanka Chopra and Florence Pugh (as a quote by designer Pierpaolo Piccioli).
Blake Lively, who has been applauded for her performances at the Met Gala, has indicated that she will not be attending the 2023 edition, although she did not specify why.
Will Shakira Go to Met Gala 2023?
Over the past few days, various media outlets have repeated rumors that Britney Spears and Shakira will also attend this event and that, supposedly, they would arrive together at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. However, neither has addressed this information, so only time will tell.
