The 2023 Met Gala will honor Karl Lagerfeld, with the event set to take place on May 1st at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year’s co-chairs include Michaela Coel, Penélope Cruz, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa, and Vogue’s Anna Wintour. The theme is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” with the dress code being simply “in honor of Karl,” providing guests with wide-ranging interpretation.
While celebrity fashion icons Chanel, Fendi, and Lagerfeld themselves are supporting the exhibition, the lack of designers among the co-chairs suggests the party might feature more creative takes on “honoring” Lagerfeld than just wearing his old designs.
