Anticipation for the 2023 Met Gala on May 1st is at an all-time high. Who will show up on the red carpet this year? And more importantly, what will they be wearing? While the Internet is buzzy pondering who will make the guest list this year, Vogue is taking a look at some of the annual event’s most stylish attendees from years past. One A-lister who’s never disappointed? Selena Gomez. The singer, actor, and Rare Beauty founder has delivered many winning looks on the red carpet over the years, often slipping into gowns that embody a classic and glamorous sensibility.
For Gomez’s very first Met Gala—in 2014, celebrating the “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” exhibition—the star wore a plunging plum gown by Diane von Furstenburg. It’s a timeless silhouette that set the tone for almost every Met she’s attended since. In 2017, for instance—for the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons” theme—she wore a plunging white Coach slip dress, embroidered with sweet little flowers and stars.
The star has taken a few risks too. At the 2015 Met Gala honoring “China: Through the Looking Glass,” Gomez wore a white form-fitting Vera Wang gown, punctuated with a giant bouquet of white orchids placed in her updo. She also sported her most futuristic look yet for the 2016 “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” celebration, when she wore Louis Vuitton’s embellished white slip dress with a leather corseted harness overtop. Even though extremely modern, it still called back to her signature shape, down to the saucy low neckline.
Will Gomez hit the Met Gala steps this year? Only time will tell—but judging on her striking fashion history at the event, we’re all hoping that she does.

In the blink of an eye, the 2023 Met Gala will be upon us. This year, the event—which benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute—falls neatly on May 1 and honors one of fashion’s greatest talents: Karl Lagerfeld. The accompanying exhibition, titled “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” pays tribute to the prolific designer, who helmed major fashion houses including Chanel, Fendi, and Chloé. Michaela Coel, Penélope Cruz, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa, and Anna Wintour will serve as the evening’s official co-chairs.
These figures span every realm of popular culture: Lipa, a global music star and three-time Grammy winner, recently wrapped her Future Nostalgia tour. Coel has emerged as one of Hollywood’s most in-demand talents after the success of her daring series I May Destroy You and her turn in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Cruz, who recently earned her fourth Oscar nomination for 2021’s Parallel Mothers, is perhaps the quintessential Karl Lagerfeld muse. And this past fall, after two decades at the pinnacle of men’s tennis, Federer announced his retirement from the sport. In addition to his many business ventures, including a partnership with On Running, Federer is focusing his efforts on his philanthropic foundation, which turns 20 in 2023.
“Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” will showcase over 150 original looks from the late designer—exploring Lagerfeld’s creative output from the 1950s until his final collections in 2019. In addition to tracing Lagerfeld’s tenures as creative director at Chanel, Chloé, and Fendi (and at his own namesake label), the show will also consider the designer’s time at Balmain and Patou. Many of the objects on display will appear alongside his vast collection of sketches.
“He would sketch everything,” said Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institute’s Wendy Yu Curator in Charge, in September. “He would always say that he could draw before he could talk or walk. In many ways it was his primary form of communication, whether he was delivering them by fax machine or iPhone. So at its heart the exhibition will look at the evolution of Karl’s two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional garments.”
