The theme of the Met Gala 2023 is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," which pays tribute to the legendary fashion designer who died in February 2019. Lagerfeld was known for prolific and influential work at various fashion houses, such as Chanel, Fendi, Chloé, Balmain, and his own label. He was also a master of reinvention, constantly adapting his style and vision to different eras and trends.

The exhibition will feature more than 150 pieces from Lagerfeld's career, spanning from his early days at Patou in the 1950s to his final collections for Chanel and Fendi in 2019. The exhibition will also include sketches, photographs, videos, and personal items that reveal Lagerfeld's creative process and personality.

Met Gala 2023 will be hosted by actors Penélope Cruz and Michaela Coel, tennis star Roger Federer, singer Dua Lipa, and Vogue's editorial director Anna Wintour. They will welcome and greet the guests at the museum's entrance and pose for photos with them.

The hosts are also expected to dress according to the theme of the night, which means they might wear outfits inspired by Lagerfeld's designs or his signature look - a black suit, white shirt, black tie, sunglasses, and gloves.
