How to Watch the Met Gala 2023 Livestream

The first Monday in May has arrived, so the wait is officially over: the Met Gala 2023 is finally here. Learning how to watch the Met Gala 2023 live stream has never been easier. Below, we’ve crafted a comprehensive guide on how to watch the Met Gala 2023 so you won’t miss any of the show-stopping looks from the celebs on the exclusive, star-studded guest list.

Fashion’s biggest night will once again be held on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and the live stream will be hosted by La La Anthony, Derek Blasberg, and Chloe Fineman, with Emma Chamberlain returning as Vogue’s special red carpet correspondent. This year's Met Gala will honor the legacy of visionary designer Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019, with the theme Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty and the official dress code “in honor of Karl.”

The Costume Institute's spring exhibition celebrating Lagerfeld will be on display at the Met from May 5 to July 16. Vogue notes that "the theme has multiple, wondrous ways into it. Lagerfeld, lest you forget, designed for a handful of houses—Balmain, Patou, Chloé, Fendi, Chanel, and his eponymous brand—so there’s a rich trove of materials, eras, and aesthetics to mine for inspiration.” 

The co-chairs for the 2023 Met Gala are actress and writer Michaela Coel, Academy Award-winning actress Penélope Cruz, legendary tennis player Roger Federer, popstar Dua Lipa, and Vogue Global Editorial Director Anna Wintour.

The Met Gala guest list is highly secretive and highly selective. So while we won't know for sure which celebrities and public figures will be hitting those carpeted steps until Met night, that doesn't mean we can't guess! Page Six reported in early March that no members of the Kardashian-Jenner family would be invited this year, but Kim has confirmed herself that we will in fact be seeing her at the coveted event. Meanwhile, Blake Lively has confirmed that she will not be attending this year's Met. (Lively served as a co-chair for last year's ball, and recently welcomed her fourth child with fellow actor Ryan Reynolds.) 

Law Roach and Zendaya have been dominating headlines in the wake of the image architect's retirement, and fans are eager to know whether Z will be making her grand return to the Met — the last gala she attended was back in 2019, with her epic Cinderella moment for the Camp: Notes on Fashion theme. Elsewhere, fans are also trying to uncover whether Rihanna will be attending this year's Met. The last time RiRi attended was in 2021. Will she give us the premier maternity fashion moment we've been waiting for? Was this street style look at a hint at her gala ‘fit? Guess we’ll just have to wait and see. There's so many ways to watch the red carpet from home, so lean back and get ready to become a fashion critic for the night — keep scrolling to find out how to live stream the 2023 Met Gala.
