Over the years, A-listers like Zendaya, Rihanna, Billie Eilish, Conan Gray, Timotheé Chalamet, and the KarJenners have graced the Met steps with show-stopping looks at the coveted fashion event hosted by Vogue's Anna Wintour.

In January, it was announced that Dua Lipa will co-chair the gala alongside Wintour, Michaela Coel, Penélope Cruz, and Roger Federer. "The 2023 Met Gala celebrates the opening of 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty' and provides The Costume Institute with its primary source of annual funding for exhibitions, publications, acquisitions, operations, and capital improvements," Dua's Instagram announcement reads.

Ahead, find all the details on the 2023 Met Gala — a.k.a the biggest night in fashion — from its theme to co-chairs and attendees.

According to Vogue, the theme for the 2023 Met Gala is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty." The theme will honor the legacy of the late designer who was at the helm of fashion houses like Chanel, Fendi, Chloé, Balmain, and, of course, his own brand, Karl Lagerfeld.

The coinciding exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art will be open to the public starting May 5, 2023. Per Vogue, Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institute’s Wendy Yu Curator in Charge, and creative consultant Amanda Harlech will curate the exhibition with 150 looks that represent the designer's iconic career dating back to 1955.

How to watch the 2023 Met Gala

In recent years, Vogue has hosted an official live stream on Twitter, where celebrities act as red carpet correspondents. Keke Palmer, Emma Chamberlain, and Vanessa Hudgens have served as correspondents in the past. If we base it on previous years' coverage, the live stream will likely take place around 5:30 or 6:00 p.m. EST on Vogue's Twitter profile.

No official announcements regarding this year's live stream have been made just yet, but check back here for more details as they come.
