The best and worst of the 2023 Met Gala
New York: It’s that time of the year when the fashion world gathers in New York City for the annual Met Gala, aka fashion’s biggest night out. This year, the theme was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” — an ode to the late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld.
We were all hooked to our phones late into the night to see what our favourite stars wore but this year, not many shone. A curious combination of the rather sedate theme and an overall lack of creativity left us wondering why fashion’s best was so mediocre this year.
We’ve curated a list of the looks that we loved, whose looks we were looking forward to, the very few quirky looks and some that just stood out.
The rapper has made it to the best dressed list several times at the Met Gala. Her looks are always a must-see and this year was no different. The ‘I Like It’ singer gave us two gorgeous looks and both gowns stood out for very different reasons. The black was very on theme — it was a classic (ish), classy Chanel- inspired look — but the pink was va-va-voom.
