Met Gala 2023 looks: See photos of the show-stopping red carpet arrivals

Celebrities have begun to hit the red carpet at this year's Met Gala in New York City. 

The event is a lavish fundraiser attended by politicians, celebrities and models that celebrates the opening of an annual fashion exhibition at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The event is organized by Vogue magazine's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

This year's theme is centered around legendary fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel's long-time creative director who passed away in 2019 at age 85.
