Everything to Know About the 2023 Met Gala, From the Theme to the Date

There may still be three months left of 2022, but the fashion world is already abuzz about Met Gala 2023. On Friday, producers of the industry's biggest event announced its oft-discussed theme for next year's fashion fête. So what will it be? The Met Gala 2023 theme is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," a tribute to the prolific designer who passed away in 2019.

The exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, which hosts the gala each year, won't be the typical artist retrospective. According to Vogue, approximately 150 looks Lagerfeld designed for various houses will be on display alongside the original sketches that he drew for each look.

Over the course of 65 years, Lagerfeld left his mark on some of luxury's most beloved brands, including Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi, and Chanel. At the latter couturier, the German-born designer was creative director from 1983 until his death in 2019. He launched his own eponymous ready-to-wear label in 1984, which continues to produce clothing and accessories for men and women.

Although his designs are varied and innumerable, Lagerfeld himself favored a uniform of sorts. He was often instantly recognizable for his tried-and-true white ponytail, black sunglasses, fingerless gloves, and high collars. These design details were a critical part of how he put himself together - celebrities walking the Met Gala red carpet will likely find creative ways to incorporate Lagerfeld's signature accessories into their own looks.

Could Zendaya make a leather-clad appearance of her own? Maybe Blake Lively will step out in vintage Chanel? Only seven months and counting until all will be revealed. In the meantime, keep reading for more Met Gala 2023 details, and be sure to check back here as further updates are announced.

The Boob-Window Trend Is All Over the Red Carpet From Sydney Sweeney to Chlöe

The boob window is the new trend in celebrity dressing making waves this year, both on and off the red carpet. As early as January, in fact, Lori Harvey stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday in the LBD version of the look, flaunting an asymmetrical midi from The Attico with a chest cutout that circled her cleavage, and was further amplified by an attention-grabbing neck-tie sash. The outfits that follow often resemble halter silhouettes, although not all of these numbers boast a strap on each side. Sydney Sweeney is the latest style icon to give it a go, opting for a brown silk gown that she wore alongside model Izabel Goulart while vacationing in Ibiza. For a night out, the 25-year-old " Euphoria " star rocked her one-shoulder design with gold jewelry, dewy makeup, and her bright blonde hair in loose waves. The bodice of her dress was secured near her collar bone, where fabric from one side was pulled through a loop at the other, wrapping around to the back. The r...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
