It’s about that time of the year again. The Met Gala 2023 is just around the corner, and it’s never too early to start preparing for fashion’s biggest night. Let’s get into it!
With designers and celebrities coming together from all over the world at The Metropolitan Museum of Art to show off their most innovative designs, each year’s Met Gala is a once-in-a-lifetime, must-see event. Between all the looks and all the memes, you won’t want to miss a thing, so we’ve got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know about the Met Gala 2023:
When is the Met Gala 2023?
The Met Gala 2023 will be held on May 1, 2023. If you are a fashion enthusiast, you might already be familiar with the phrase, but the Met Gala is traditionally held on the first Monday in May. (The only exception was the rescheduled 2021 ball due to COVID-19).
Who are the Met Gala 2023 hosts?
The 2023 Met Gala will be co-chaired by Spanish actor Penélope Cruz, singer Dua Lipa, actor Michaela Coel, and tennis player Roger Federer.
What is the Met Gala?
Held annually, the Met Gala is a charity benefit held by Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour to fundraise for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Celebrities and designers come together to create unforgettable looks in the name of the Met Gala’s theme. The event also marks the beginning of the MET’s spring display. After the Met Gala 2023, the display will be open to the public from May 5 to July 16, 2023.
Who is hosting the Met Gala 2023 red carpet?
The annual red carpet livestream giving us an exclusive look at our favorite celebrities’ arrivals will be hosted by Emma Chamberlain, LaLa Anthony, Derek Blasberg, and Chloe Fineman. This is Chamberlain’s second time hosting the red carpet, which truly was a treat last time, giving us the iconic “love you, bye” interaction with rapper Jack Harlow and the amazing love-fest “big slay” moment with model Gigi Hadid. We’re sure to get even more memorable moments from the host this year.
What is the Met Gala 2023 theme?
Like previous years such as 2017’s Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between and 2011’s Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty themes, the Met Gala 2023 theme honors designer Karl Lagerfeld. Known for his role as creative director of Chanel in addition to his work at Chloé and his eponymous brand, Lagerfeld was one of the most influential figures in fashion. So, we certainly have high expectations for this year’s looks.
Vogue unveiled the 2023 Met Gala theme on September 30, 2022, with a special announcement by Pharrell Williams, one of Chanel’s most well-known ambassadors and collaborators, which you can watch below:

Where can I watch the Met Gala 2023?

When does the Met Gala 2023 start?
Starting time for the gala might vary, but Teen Vogue’s Met Gala 2023 red carpet live stream will start at 5:30 pm ET, so set your alarms!
Who is going to the Met Gala 2023?
The guest list for the Met Gala is never made available to the public ahead of the event, except for the various hosts. However, you can expect some of the usual suspects to grace the red carpet. Though Zendaya has skipped the Met Gala since 2019, many expect this to be the year she makes her grand return, since she’s been frequenting other red carpet events as of late. The Kardashian/Jenner clan was rumored to not have been invited to this year’s festivities, but that will be highly unlikely as Kim Kardashian has already confirmed she’s going. We do know Blake Lively, a Met Gala staple, will skip this year’s event but the rest of the guest list remains to be confirmed.
