Jared Leto as a cat, Doja Cat in Oscar de la Renta – see all the celebrities and stars attending the 2023 Met Gala

Last night, on fashion’s biggest night, the hottest stars walked the iconic Met Gala carpet in the heart of New York City at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The 2023 Met Gala paid tribute to the late German fashion designer and creative director of Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, as the theme was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. In addition to Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, this Met Gala was co-chaired by Penélope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Roger Federer, and Michaela Coel. 

An ode to Karl Lagerfeld, who wore black and white almost exclusively, many A-list attendees wore this signature Lagerfeld colors on the Met Gala carpet. 

Co-chair Dua Lipa honored Lagerfeld in a look inspired by a vintage Chanel gown first made famous by supermodel Claudia Schiffer in a 1995-1996 Chanel runway show. 

American television personality and actress La La Anthony wore an all-white one-shoulder Sergio Hudson gown.

Co-chair Roger Federer paid tribute to Lagerfeld in a custom-made Dior tuxedo lined with Karl Lagerfeld sketches. 

Musician Rita Ora and her husband Taika Waititi wore Atelier Prabal Gurung. Ora was stunned in an all-black silk tulle corseted gown, and Waititi celebrated Lagerfeld in a gunmetal floor-length wrap coat with white satin trousers, a hand-made silk black flower, and pearl chains. 

All eyes were on American fashion model Anok Yai, who radiated in an Atelier Prabal Gurung oxidized gold and silver dress, hand embroidered with cascading oxidized gold and silver sequin paillettes. 

Actor Ke Huy Quan walked the carpet in a custom-made Dior suit complemented by black leather fingerless gloves, a silver brooch, a white cotton wide-collar shirt, and sunglasses, all contributing to a signature Lagerfeld look. 

Adding a pop of color on the Met Gala carpet, actress Salma Hayek wore a custom Gucci dark red gown featuring a leather corset with pearl straps as sleeves, along with a removable tulle overskirt fitted at the waist with a bow.

While many opted to honor Lagerfeld by embodying his signature style or wearing designs from the fashion house of Chanel, others chose to reference the late designer’s cat, Choupette.

Rapper Doja Cat wore cat-like facial prosthetics and a hooded Oscar de la Renta gown that featured cat ears. 

Actor Jared Leto showed up in a full-sized cat costume before removing it to reveal an all-black ensemble.
