The Met Gala 2023 is the night all fashionistas have been waiting for. The biggest night of the fashion calendar is held every year on the first Monday in May and this year's theme is in honour of the late Karl Lagerfeld with ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.’

The attendees did not disappoint at this year’s annual fundraiser. There was a very black-and-white, monochrome theme throughout the night in homage to Karl’s iconic style. Along with floral designs, pearls and bow accessories.
