Revealing the news on Instagram, Vogue wrote, “This year, the Met Gala, which benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Costume Institute, falls on May 1st and it stars one of fashion’s biggest talents: Karl Lagerfeld. The accompanying exhibition, titled ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty’, pays tribute to the prolific designer who helmed major fashion houses including Chanel, Fendi and Chloé. Michaela Koel, Penélope Cruz, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa and Anna Wintour will serve as official co-chairs of the evening. And paying tribute to Mr. Lagerfeld isn’t just a task for the museum’s curators: The 2023 dress code is ‘in honor of Karl.’
According to the fashion magazine, it’s a chance for all the special guests to pay tribute to the fashion legend. There are many great ways to incorporate a theme into the event. For example, Lagerfeld created for select businesses, including Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi, Chanel and his own label. As a result, there is a wealth of materials, historical periods, and aesthetics to draw from for inspiration.
The Met Gala, the biggest night in fashion and beyond, is a huge money-maker for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, providing its main source of funding. Those who were curious to know the Met Gala’s exclusive invite list were left disappointed as the details were kept a secret and won’t be unveiled until the participants hit the red carpet.
Speaking of last year’s official co-chairs, the list includes Cardi B dripping in gold Versace, Kendall Jenner dominating the steps in a massive Prada gown, Paloma Elsesser shining in a corseted look by Coach, Megan Thee Stallion entered Moschino, Dakota Johnson wore a Requiem sheer catsuit by Gucci and Messika jewelry, Emily Ratajkowski in a vintage Atelier Versace look for Spring/Summer 1992, among many others.
