The Met Gala 2023 is here and so are a ton of new faces. Fashion’s biggest night isn’t complete without our celebrity faves solidifying themselves in the sartorial zeitgeist by climbing the large Met steps in head-to-toe designer.

Abbott Elementary creator Quinta Brunson made her debut in Prabal Gurung and De Beers Jewelry. Ice Spice also made her red carpet debut tonight wearing a white sheer Balmain gown. She joined LaLa Anthony at the top of the steps saying that “it was super last minute,” about her attendance at the event.

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, the late designer was one of the most influential figures in fashion. According to Vogue, the Met Gala's dress code will honor “the artistic methodology and stylistic vocabulary of Karl Lagerfeld's designs through recurring themes across more than 65 years, from the 1950s to his final collection in 2019.”

This year's co-chairs of fashion's most famous night are Spanish actor Penélope Cruz, singer Dua Lipa, actor Michaela Coel, and tennis player Roger Federer. Additionally, this year's red carpet has a new pair of hosts. Emma Chamberlain, LaLa Anthony, Derek Blasberg, and Chloe Fineman will be walking us through all of the glorious red carpet moments.
