Photos: See what Nigerian singers Tems & Burna Boy & other celebs wore to the 2023 Met Gala

The fashion world has gathered in New York City for the annual Met Gala once again - this year themed on the late fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld.

The event, known for its star-studded guest list and extravagant outfits, included pearls, starched collars, and black and white to honour the designer. 

The invitation-only fundraiser for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted about 400 guests. Lagerfeld's cat was also honoured. 

At least two celebs dressed as Choupette. 

For this year's theme - "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" - attendees were asked to wear clothes "in honour of Karl". 

For decades, Lagerfeld was at the helm of some of the biggest-name fashion houses in the world, including Chanel and Fendi. The designer, who died in 2019 at the age of 85, most often wore dark sunglasses with his white hair pulled back into a ponytail. 

He was often pictured alongside Choupette, his famously pampered pet.
