The actress Penélope Cruz or the Albanobritanic singer Dua Lipa will be part of the select group of hosts of the next MET Galatogether with the Swiss tennis player Roger Federer, the British actress Micaela Cole and the American fashion editor Anna Wintour, director of the event.
In the foreground will be Penelope Cruz, a benchmark of elegance in the United States and around the world. When is the Met Gala held? The Met Gala 2023, to be held on May 1, is the annual benefit event for the Fashion Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of New York (Met) but beyond that it is quite a social event for celebrities, who are inspired when it comes to dressing by the theme of the institution’s great spring exhibition.
The exhibition will focus on this edition in the legacy of the late German designer Karl Lagerfeld and the gala is promoted, among others, by his namesake firm and by Chanel, the house where the German designer was the creative baton for 36 years, so the chosen dress code is not surprising: “An honor a Karl”, announces the museum.
This code leaves no doubt about its interpretation and suggests that the red carpet will become a tribute to Lagerfeld’s designs and his vision of fashion, so closely linked to the emblematic French brand founded by Coco Chanel, and which he previously applied in other big brands like Chloé or Fendi.
Penélope Cruz, who has been the image of Chanel and shared a long friendship with Lagerfeld, was one of the leading muses on the designer’s farewell catwalk after his death in 2019, at the age of 85, and reacted to her role as hostess on Instagram with a message with Karl’s name and a heart emoji.
Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue magazine, has directed the Met Gala for almost 30 years and selects the hundreds of guests at the event, who must later pay a large entrance fee and, in many cases, are accompanied by fashion designers and show off their creations in kind of patronage.
