- Celebrities gathered in New York City on Monday for the 2023 Met Gala.
- The theme and dress code for the event paid tribute to the late designer Karl Lagerfeld.
Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson gazed into each other's eyes on the red carpet.
The couple, who were first linked in 2018, made their Met Gala red-carpet debut this year.
Waterhouse wore a tea-length sheer gown with floral embroidery by Fendi, while Pattinson wore a navy Dior suit with an asymmetrical hemline.

Hathaway, who wore a tweed strapless Versace gown, hugged her "WeCrashed" costar on the red carpet.
Basketball stars Brittney Griner and Dwyane Wade shared a heartfelt greeting.
Wade expressed support for the WNBA star while she was imprisoned in Russia after cannabis-oil vape cartridges were found in her luggage in February 2022. He posted a photo of himself on Instagram in July 2022 wearing a "We Are BG" T-shirt. Griner was freed in a prisoner exchange in December 2022.
Griner attended the Met Gala in an iridescent beige suit. Wade wore a black statement coat over a leather vest and trousers.

Jenner wore a black sequin-covered bodysuit by Marc Jacobs, while Hadid chose a sheer black gown with a corset top by Givenchy.
Exes Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian chatted with Usher inside the Met Gala.
Davidson and Kardashian, who dated for nine months in 2021 and 2022, attended the Met Gala together last year, and things seemed amicable as they smiled and chatted together at this year's event.
Usher wore a wide black jacket and matching pants. Davidson's outfit consisted of a bucket hat, graphic T-shirt, and black velvet overcoat. Kardashian's Schiaparelli gown was comprised mostly of strings of pearls and included a voluminous white shawl.
