The Met Gala 2023 took place in New York, where A-listers from the worlds of fashion, film, politics, and sports celebrated the late king of couture, Karl Lagerfeld. Bollywood’s sweetheart Alia Bhatt made her Met Gala debut wearing a custom-made Prabal Gurung gown, featuring intricate beading and embroidery on the entire bodice, with a sleek, modern silhouette.

Pop superstar Rihanna made a late entrance wearing a white Valentino gown with airy camellias, and tennis legend Serena Williams, and supermodel Karlie Kloss debuted their baby bumps.
The guest list was curated by Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue. The Met Gala 2023 was invitation-only, with single tickets costing $50,000 and tables starting at $300,000. This year’s event celebrated Lagerfeld and also marked the opening of a Costume Institute exhibition dedicated to the iconic designer.
Some other notable looks included Gisele Bundchen in a shimmering gold Versace gown that hugged her curves in all the right places, and Kate Moss in a sheer, sparkly Saint Laurent number that left little to the imagination.
Meanwhile, tennis champion Serena Williams proudly showed off her baby bump in a striking yellow Gucci gown with a dramatic train, while model Karlie Kloss opted for a regal red Carolina Herrera dress that perfectly complemented her growing belly.
But not everyone hit the mark with their outfits, with some guests receiving criticism for their lackluster ensembles. Priyanka Chopra, in particular, was panned by some fashion critics for her uninspired black gown and predictable styling.
Overall, though, the event was a celebration of fashion and creativity, with guests pulling out all the stops to pay tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld and his iconic legacy in the industry. And with the Met Gala set to return next year with another theme and a new set of celebrity attendees, fashion lovers around the world will no doubt be eagerly awaiting the next round of unforgettable red carpet moments
