She’s levitating! Met Gala 2023 co-chair Dua Lipa left onlookers stunned as she walked the red carpet in vintage Chanel — a perfect nod to this year’s theme.
The “Don’t Start Now” singer, 27 — who is cohosting the event with Penelope Cruz, Roger Federer and Michaela Coel — looked ethereal in a cream-colored Chanel Haute Couture gown at the Monday, May 1 gala, held every year at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Lipa was the living embodiment of “Karl Lagerfield: A Line of Beauty” in the way she paid tribute to the late Chanel designer, who died in 2019 at age 85.
Her ensemble featured a tweed corset lined with black details and a ball gown skirt finished with pockets and fringe. The white dress first debuted on the runway in 1992 and was famously worn by none other than Lagerfeld’s beloved muse, Claudia Schiffer.
To add even more drama to the number, the “IDGAF” musician sported a breathtaking Tiffany & Co. diamond necklace and chrome heels.

As for her glam, the England native sported a matte face with filled-in eyebrows, daring eyeliner and peachy lips. Her brunette tresses cascaded down in soft waves and were styled with an Old Hollywood glam vibe.
With her tony title as co-chair of the iconic fashion fete, fans may be surprised to know that the 2023 Met Gala is only the “New Rules” artist’s second time ever attending the stylish celebration. Lipa made her Met Gala debut in 2019, following the year’s “camp” theme to a T in an unabashed Atelier Versace purple-and-green ensemble that fashion critics are still discussing years later. The British songstress wore her dark hair in an over-the-top, sky-high blowout fitted with flowers at the crown of her head.
