Nigerians at the 2023 Met Gala

The Met Gala, the fashion world's biggest night, is a star-studded event where celebrities showcase their most daring and innovative looks. This year will be no different, but we're taking a look back at the remarkable Nigerians who graced the red carpet in 2023.

The theme for the 2023 Met Gala was "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," a tribute to the late designer known for his bold and boundary-pushing designs. This year's theme is Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.

Making her Met Gala debut, Tems turned heads in a stunning black and white mermaid dress by London-based Hong Kong designer Robert Wun. The dress featured a strapless bodice with a feathered headpiece and black gloves.
