Stars have arrived at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art for the annual event, honouring Karl Lagerfeld

The last of the Met Gala attendees have arrived on the red – or cream – carpet for fashion’s biggest night of the year.

The annual charity event is hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

This year’s hosts are Penelope Cruz, Roger Federer, Dua Lipa, Michaela Michaela Coel and Chairwoman of the Met Gala, Anna Wintour.

The event raises money for the Museum, and tickets are rumoured to cost upwards of $50,000 per head.

Dua Lipa spoke to Variety about the significance of her look and, more importantly, the diamond hanging around her neck.

It’s a Tiffany diamond, which Lipa says “hasn’t been seen before”.

The 2023 theme is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” and guests honoured the iconic designer with pearls, chic dresses and capes.

Lagerfeld was a German fashion designer, creative director, artist and photographer.

He was known as the creative director of the French fashion house Chanel, a position held from 1983 until his death in 2019.

Some celebrities have criticised the Lagerfeld theme – calling attention to the many controversies he was involved in.

Lagerfeld frequently offered unsolicited critiques of other public figures like Adele, who he called “too fat,” and Heidi Klum, who he called “too heavy.”

The late designer’s cat did not make an appearance tonight, as some had hoped, but that didn’t stop several of the Met Gala guests adding a feline element to their outfits in the cat’s honour.

Jarred Leto took this a step further, wearing a full cat costume.

Trump brokers historic peace between Morocco and Algeria; experts debate implications for Middle Eastern relations and global influence.

Donald Trump has once again stunned the world, this time brokering a historic peace agreement between Morocco and Algeria—with the backing of the United Nations. The move has many wondering whether the former U.S. president is reinventing himself as a global peacemaker.

Professor Tim Harcourt from UTS breaks down how Trump managed to secure the deal and what role the UN played in formalizing the agreement. Morocco’s vow to protect Jewish communities and strengthen ties with Israel adds another layer to this surprising diplomatic twist.

As Trump’s influence on global affairs grows, experts are debating whether this marks a genuine shift in Middle Eastern relations—or just a calculated political play on the global stage.
