Since 1948, stars have been climbing the majestic staircase to a very exclusive party where no selfies are allowed.
This year the theme of the ball is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty”. The late German designer was the creative director of Chanel for many years. He passed away in 2019 at the age of 85.
His beloved cat, Choupette, was even invited to the celebrations.
The decision to honor Karl has sparked controversy, from criticizing the #MeToo movement to opposing same-sex marriage, given the many offensive remarks he’s made over the years.
“I’m against it for a very simple reason: in the 1960s everyone said we were entitled to the difference. And now all of a sudden they want a middle-class life,” he told Vice of same-sex marriage.
“Hard to imagine – one of the dads at work and the other at home with the baby. How about that for the baby? I don’t know. I see more lesbians married with babies than boys married with babies. And I also believe in the relationship between mother and child more than that between father and child.”
While he finally showed his support for same-sex marriage at his Chanel haute couture show in spring 2013, he still said he was “less keen” on same-sex couples adopting children, according to the AP.

Along with Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, who directs and hosts the annual event, the MET Gala 2023 will also be co-hosted by Penelope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel and also Roger Federer.
While the show may be known for its glitzy and over-the-top red carpet — with details of what’s happening inside they often remain mysterious — at its core, it’s a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
Last year, the 2022 MET Gala alone grossed $17.4 million, Billboard reported.
This year, according to Page Six, the ticket price went up from $30,000 to $50,000.
Even if you have the funds, that doesn’t guarantee you entry into the party.
Every guest must be invited, and there is a waiting list for the coveted golden ticket.
