From cat tributes to self-reveal: 7 most outrageous looks of Met Gala 2023

The first day of the festival gave just enough bold and feisty for surprise, laughter, inspiration and tears

The first Monday of May 2023 saw some A-list celebrities and extravagant outfits on the stairs of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. For the invitation-only annual festival, the Met Gala 2023, attendees were asked to dress “in honour of Karl.” Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019, was a distinctive talent in the world of fashion.
