The 2023 Met Gala is almost here! Set for Monday, May 1, this year’s star-studded ball will mark the opening of the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” Celebrity guests have been asked to dress “in honor of Karl” — meaning we can likely expect to see special looks from throughout the late design legend’s six-decade career make their way up the Met steps on some big names.

The Post also confirmed Lagerfeld’s beloved cat, Choupette, got her paws on an invite.
