Met Gala 2023 Red Carpet Arrivals (Photos)

The biggest names in fashion are gathering in New York City tonight at the Met Gala, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual celebration for the opening of its new Costume Institute exhibit.

This year’s theme is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” in honor of the late fashion designer’s life and work.

This year’s gala co-chairs are Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa and, of course, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

Every year, the Met Gala attracts major stars across film, television and music. This year’s guests are expected to include Bad Bunny, Maude Apatow, Phoebe Bridgers, Cardi B, Jessica Chastain, Pete Davidson, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Gigi Hadid, Anne Hathaway, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Nicole Kidman, Lil Nas X, Jennifer Lopez, Jenna Ortega, Pedro Pascal, Robert Pattinson, Suki Waterhouse, Florence Pugh, Margot Robbie, Olivia Rodrigo and more.
