The first Monday of May, which marks the return of the Met Gala, an event that sees celebrities and fashion icons alike descending upon the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for a night of glitz and glamour.

While last year’s theme celebrated the opulence of the Gilded Era, this year’s theme is a tribute to the life and legacy of Karl Lagerfeld, the influential fashion designer known for his transformative work at some of the industry’s most iconic fashion houses. Lagerfeld, who passed away in 2019 at the age of 85, was particularly renowned for his creative direction at Chanel and Fendi, where he helped shape the brands for over half a century. In addition to his work at these fashion houses, he also had his own successful eponymous label.

The Met Gala’s theme for this year is inspired by the Costume Institute’s spring show, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” a retrospective of the German designer’s prolific career in fashion. The theme, “In honor of Karl,” pays tribute to his immense contributions to the industry, which continue to inspire and influence designers today.

The Met Gala, also known as the Costume Institute Benefit, is an annual fundraising event held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The event is hosted by the museum’s Costume Institute and is attended by a wide range of celebrities from the worlds of fashion, film, music, and art.

“The Met Gala has raised millions of dollars for the museum over the years and has become one of the most highly anticipated fashion events of the year.”

The Met Gala is typically held on the first Monday in May and marks the opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibit. The event has become known for its elaborate red carpet looks, with attendees often wearing extravagant and avant-garde outfits inspired by the theme of the year’s exhibit.

Each year, the Met Gala has a different theme that corresponds to the theme of the Costume Institute’s exhibit. The theme is typically announced several months before the event, and attendees are encouraged to dress in a way that reflects the theme. Some notable past themes include “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” (2018), “Met Gala 2023 Pays Tribute to Karl Lagerfeld: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of an Iconic Fashion Designer, and “China: Through the Looking Glass” (2015).

The Met Gala is also known for its high-profile hosts, who are often celebrities from the worlds of fashion, film, and music. Past hosts have included Anna Wintour, Katy Perry, and Rihanna.

The event is a major fundraising opportunity for the Costume Institute, with proceeds from ticket sales going towards the museum’s exhibitions and acquisitions. The Met Gala has raised millions of dollars for the museum over the years and has become one of the most highly anticipated fashion events of the year.
