Paris Hilton Makes an 'Iconic' Debut at 2023 Met Gala

Paris Hilton set foot on her first-ever Met Gala pink carpet in New York City on Monday night, adding a major superstar milestone to her resume. Despite her years-long time in the highlight, 2023 marked Hilton's first Met Gala look.

Hilton seemed surprising on The Metropolitan Museum of Art red carpet. The unique "It Girl" wore an off-the-shoulder, black leather glove-sleeve Marc Jacobs gown with Swarovski embroidered bodice with jet-back Swarovski crystal Kiki boots. The sleeves and bodice of her get dressed shimmered as she posed for the flashing digicam lights.

Hilton was once escorted via clothier Marc Jacobs to the Met Gala. When ET's Rachel Smith asked the famed fashion designer why he selected to bring Hilton as his date, Jacobs stored it easy -- announcing, "It's Paris F***ing Hilton!" 

This yr's dress code asked that visitors taste themselves "in honor of Karl," an extension of this yr's Costume Institute exhibition, "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty." Hilton was once identified to be friends with the past due designer, and posed with him at a Dom Perignon celebration in 2006. 

"Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" honors the work and life of the overdue dressmaker, that includes a hundred and fifty of Lagerfeld's designs from Chanel, Balmain, Patou, Fendi, Chloe, in addition to his personal non-public line. The showcase opens to the general public on May 5 and will close July 16.

Following the theme's announcement in September 2022, the Met faced backlash due to Lagerfeld's alleged previous problematic comments, together with an a 2009 quote, "no one wants to see round women." In 2018, Lagerfeld also mentioned he used to be "fed up" with the #MeToo movement. Lagerfeld died in 2019 at age 85. 

Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour named Michaela Coel, Penélope Cruz, Dua Lipa, tennis professional Roger Federer as her co-chairs for this yr's gala. The annual celebration is a fundraiser for New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute.
