Arguably the biggest date on the fashion calendar, the Met Gala is an annual extravaganza that sees the world's most famous faces dare to display their most extravagant looks under the watchful eye of Vogue editor and event chair, Anna Wintour.

From Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination to Camp: Notes On Fashion, the star-studded fundraiser sees actors, singers, musicians and models work the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, providing show-stopping looks as well as raising funds for The Costume Institute.

Famously taking place on the first Monday in May, this year's event falls on May 1, 2023, and is set to celebrate the legacy of late German fashion designer Karl Largerfeld with the theme Karl Largerfeld: A Line of Beauty.

Known for his white ponytail, trademark black sunglasses, love of leather gloves, and controversial opinions Lagerfeld is one of the enduring fashion icons of the last century, and guests have been asked to dress for this year's gala "in honour of Karl".
