51 Already Iconic Photos From Inside the 2023 Met Gala That You Haven’t Seen Yet
So many exes catching up in one place. 👀
Sorry to your boss, but you’ve got better things to do than work this afternoon. I know you’ve spent plenty of time clicking through photos of celebrities walking the red carpet—and up the iconic steps—at the 2023 Met Gala, but what about the pics from *inside* the famed soiree? We’ve got tons of photos from inside the Met Gala that you’ll definitely want to see. I mean, the Met Gala really does have everything, especially this year: A surprise Lizzo performance! Awkward celebrity ex run-ins! Celebrities gossiping with each other! And, of course, the iconic, bold fashion choices that the event is known for.
And what would the Met Gala be without some awkward moments? Anyway, once you’ve had your fill of looking at celebs making small talk, we’ve got plenty of coverage on after-party looks and why some big names—like Zendaya, Taylor Swift, and Hailey Bieber—were MIA at last night’s fete.
Lizzo
The way I would have given *anything* to see this surprise Lizzo performance.
Gigi Hadid and Lizzo
An already iconic photo of Lizzo having the best time at the Met Gala, feat. Gigi Hadid.
Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse
Adorable couple alert!!!
Cardi B, Bad Bunny, and Doja Cat
Presenting the cool friend group you secretly wish you could join.
Gwendoline Christie, Janelle Monáe, and Yara Shahidi
Janelle is SHOCKED, you guys.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman
Hi, Mom and Dad!!
La La Anthony
This woman came to serve, and I have to say: Mission. Accomplished.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky
Can I hear a little commotion for this train??
Imaan Hammam and Irina Shayk
Like you’d come to the Met Gala and *not* take at least one selfie with your supermodel friends.
Usher, Pete Davidson, and Kim Kardashian
Okay, if you’ve been on the internet at all today, you’ve probably already seen this photo. (Reminder that just last year, exes Kim and Pete attended the Met Gala as a couple.) But I am dying to know what these three were discussing! Was it awkward for Usher???
Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk
Pete and Kim aren’t the only exes who ran into each other on the first Monday in May. Former couple Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk also saw each other, and based on this photo, IDK what the vibe was, TBH.
Keke Palmer and Sergio Hudson
New mom Keke Palmer looked *so* good at the Met Gala, alongside designer Sergio Hudson.
Marc Jacobs and Paris Hilton
As always, Paris Hilton is having a great time!!!
Seth Meyers and Mindy Kaling
Okay, Mindy, are those air quotes?? Seth looks concerned, but IDK!
Tems
Honestly, if I ever looked this good in a photo, I’d spend the rest of my life showing it to every single person I encountered.
The Futuristic Centerpiece
If you, like me, have been wondering what the deal is with this futuristic backdrop everyone is posing in front of, we found the scoop. It was made with thousands of recycled water bottles and is “a nod to Karl’s love of everything cutting edge,” according to Vogue’s contributing editor Eaddy Kiernan.
The Tables
Another interior decor shot so you can get a really good look at the florals and candelabra. Adding this to my Pinterest wedding board for when I’m a billionaire!
Xu Kaicheng, Letitia Wright, Maya Hawke, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Gabrielle Union
This pic reminds me of raising a glass to the happy couple with a bunch of strangers at a wedding table…if those strangers were all mega-rich, beautiful celebrities.
Song Hye-kyo, Sora Choi, and Jennie Kim
Obsessed with every single one of these looks, TBH.
Emily Ratajkowski
EmRata has bangs now, you guys.
