BackWhen is Met Gala 2023? Theme, guest list, Indian celebs attending and how to watch
The number of guests at Met Gala 2023 will be around 400, which is comparable to the figures of recent years, but lower than the 500-600 guests in attendance before the pandemic.
PremiumThe highly-anticipated Met Gala 2023 is just around the corner, set to take place on Monday, May 1 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The annual event is traditionally held on the first Monday in May every year.
Met Gala 2023 theme
The exhibit, "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," looks at "the designer's stylistic vocabulary as expressed in aesthetic themes that appear time and again in his fashions from the 1950s to his final collection in 2019". Lagerfeld made an indelible mark on luxury fashion in his long career at Chanel, Fendi and elsewhere. Andrew Bolton, the Met's acclaimed curator, has once again been the creator of the event.
Met Gala 2023 guest list
The Met Gala's guest list is always a topic of interest, with only the most famous and powerful invited to attend. This year, there will be roughly 400 guests, similar to recent years but still lower than pre-pandemic highs of 500-600. Vogue's Anna Wintour and her team still get to approve every guest. Trying to predict who will attend? Newly-minted Oscar winners and Broadway stars are a good bet.
