Hollywood’s biggest stars and fashion icons are gearing up to grace the red carpet for the highly-anticipated Met Gala on Monday, May 2nd. Hosted annually by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this year’s theme is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” paying tribute to the late fashion icon who passed away in 2019.
The event will be co-chaired by Penélope Cruz, Michaela Coel, Roger Federer, and Dua Lipa, with Anna Wintour serving as the host. Rihanna is set to make a return to the Met, and other confirmed attendees include Paris Hilton, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Florence Pugh, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, Tom Holland, Jenna Ortega, and more.
The Met Gala is known for its jaw-dropping fashion statements, and fans are eagerly awaiting the red carpet looks from Kim Kardashian and her sisters. Last year, Kardashian stunned in a figure-hugging gown that was reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress.
Given that this year’s theme is centered around Karl Lagerfeld, fans are expecting to see Lagerfeld’s favorite supermodels, such as Vanessa Paradis, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Cara Delevigne, and Gigi Hadid, arrive in head-turning ensembles. Indian stars Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt are also expected to grace the event.
While the official guest list for the Met Gala is never revealed ahead of time, some celebrities may disclose their invitation beforehand. However, some social media accounts have already revealed the list of celebrities, confirming their presence at the event.
Approximately 400 guests are expected to attend this year’s Gala, with each guest dressing to honor Lagerfeld’s legacy. The Costume Institute’s chief curator, Andrew Bolton, selected the theme to showcase Lagerfeld’s contribution to the fashion industry and celebrate his unparalleled vision and creativity.
The Met Gala has been postponed twice due to the pandemic, with last year’s event canceled altogether. As a result, anticipation is higher than ever, and fashion lovers around the world are eagerly waiting to see the incredible looks that will grace the red carpet.
