Met Gala 2023 Best Jewelry Moments: Shop the Look
At this year’s Met Gala, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute paid tribute to the renowned late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld with several A-listers donning his most iconic designs for “fashion’s biggest night out.”
While this year’s ensembles proved to be more elegant and less costume in honor of Lagerfield, the stars didn’t hold back. From the showstopping gowns and signature creations that swept down the red carpet to the glimmer of diamonds, pearls, and dazzling headpieces that lit up the night, this was undoubtedly an evening to remember.
Here are the best jewelry moments on the Met Gala 2023 red carpet and where you can shop the looks.
Dua Lipa
A co-host of the evening, Dua Lipa didn’t disappoint at this year’s Met Gala. She wore a black tweed ballgown from Chanel adorned with Tiffany & Co.’s new legendary diamond set on a necklace. The white diamond is over 100 carats, features 82 faucets, and pays homage to the iconic yellow Tiffany diamond with its almost-identical cushion cut.

She wore a bejeweled Oscar de la Renta cat dress, a diamond headpiece, and a custom-made armpiece featuring two pear-shaped diamonds. For even more dazzle, she accessorized with diamond bracelets and rings.
