Models @ 2023 Met Gala

 Anok Yai 
2023 Met Gala
Atelier Prabal Gurung

We’ve seen many models on the red carpet at the 2023 Met Gala, so here is your roundup.

Starting with my favourite, Anok Yai who looked like a beautiful Queen bee wearing an Atelier Prabal Gurung degrade Pannier shaped dress.

Between the shape of the dress, and the mask, this look had a futuristic feel that didn’t feel like a costume.

Jimmy Choo sandals completed her look, but her greatest accessory was her glowing skin.

I really need her skincare routine.

Designer Wes Gordon followed the camellia and pearls blueprint when designing this Carolina Herrera gown for Adut Akech.

Ashley Graham 
Harris Reed
2023 Met Gala

It was great to see Ashley Graham back on track style-wise wearing this Harris Reed sculptural creation.

Camila Morrone
Rodarte
2023 Met Gala

As always, quiet elegance was Camila Morrone’s M.O. in Rodarte.

Some might feel that the lace collar took this into Amish territory.

Fred Leighton jewelry completed her look.

Gigi Hadid
2023 Met Gala
Givenchy

There were more sheer dresses on this red carpet than I was expecting.

Gigi Hadid’s style took a rare dark, and moody turn in this Givenchy dress styled with LAGOS jewelry and a Smiling Rocks diamond necklace.

Emily Ratajkowski 
Tory Burch
2023 Met Gala

Emily Ratajkowski doesn’t always deliver on the big occasions, but I was pleasantly surprised by how elegant she looked in this custom Tory Burch nude gown which was inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel Spring 1993 Couture collection.

The model styled her look with Fred Leighton jewelry, and Jimmy Choo accessories.

Grace Elizabeth stood out as most people do when they don a Christopher John Rogers creation.

Irina Shayk’s Yohji Yamamoto 
2023 Met Gala

I can see where the designer was going with Irina Shayk’s Yohji Yamamoto dress, but I didn’t find it flattering on her considering her usual red carpet looks.

However, those ballet pumps were true to form.

Joan Smalls
Tom Ford
Met Gala

Joan Smalls joined the many who wore black opting for a sexy Tom Ford sheer lace number.

Karen Elson 
2023 Met Gala
Christian Siriano

I’m not surprised that Christian Siriano nailed the theme with Karen Elson’s floral tribute.

Karlie Kloss
2023 Met Gala
Loewe

Karlie Kloss was apparently one of the most google searched Met Gala attendees, which I find surprising considering how her bespoke Loewe gown wasn’t one of the more dramatic looks on the night.

This look was inspired by a dress from Karl Lagerfeld’s Spring 1983 collection for Chanel that was reimagined by creative director Jonathan Anderson through the blurred lens of the latest Loewe Fall 2023 collection.

Her surrealist trompe l’oeil dress was finished with a long-strand necklace and belt featuring the house’s signature Anagram motif. 

Lily Aldridge’s Oscar de la Renta black dress
2023 Met Gala

Between the silhouette, the bows and the pink train, Lily Aldridge’s Oscar de la Renta gown ensured she was one of the best dressed, with Bucherer Fine Jewellery adding the finishing touch.

Liu Wen
Tory Burch
2023 Met Gala

Liu Wen always makes the biggest impact on the red carpet at the Met Gala.  I don’t think she gets enough credit.

Her custom black and ivory Tory Burch gown was reminiscent of the 1950s, when Lagerfeld was designing for Jean Patou.

I adore how the layers of black and ivory tulle fan out beneath the skirt, embroidered with an abundance of organza camellia flowers.

Vittoria Ceretti was dressed in a Balenciaga Couture black strapless gown.
