Every year, several fashion and entertainment industry A-listers turn up for the event in dazzling outfits that are in support of the gala’s theme. The event has been organized by Vogue and chaired by its editor-in-chief Anna Wintour since 1995.

The Met Gala 2023 theme was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. It was to honor the late German designer who has worked for many fashion brands like CHANEL, Fendi, and Balmain.
