70 of the best Met Gala 2023 red carpet looks you need to see immediately

While the year's traditional awards season may now be behind us, the 2023 Met Gala just landed to remind us all that 2023's most major red carpet looks are only just getting started.

Forever host to some of the most spectacular celebrity fashion moments, while much of the UK spent 'the first Monday in May' basking in some eagerly-anticipated bank holiday sunshine, things were a whole lot more hectic across the pond as agents, celebrities, designers and stylists finalised the finishing touches for what was about to be one of the most talked-about events of the year.

Co-chaired this year by Penelope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel and Roger Federer – with Emma Chamberlain, LaLa Anthony, Derek Blasberg and Chloe Fineman hosting the annual livestream – there was never any doubt that this year's carpet was going to play host to some seriously memorable looks.
