Met Gala 2023 Sunglasses: Get the Look
The Met Gala is one of the largest events in the fashion world, where A-list celebrities, fashion icons, and designers come together to showcase their best looks on the red carpet. This year's Met Gala, held as always at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, was no exception. This year's theme, "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty", was a tribute to the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. Lagerfeld passed away in 2019 and is widely regarded as one of the most influential designers in the fashion industry, having worked for some of the biggest fashion houses, including Chanel, Fendi, and his own eponymous label. While the statement suits and over-the-top dresses caught our eye, the sunglasses, of course, made a lasting impact and, in our opinion, completed these iconic looks.
Sunglasses have always been a staple accessory on the Met Gala red carpet, and at times, they tend to be just as stylish and bold as the outfits themselves. Let's take a closer look at some of the most memorable frames from last night's event. You will be glad to know that all the models below can be found on our website! Make sure to stay tuned until the end as we reveal who we believe takes the top spot for best dressed at this year's legendary event...
Gucci Has A Moment
ASAP Rocky wears Gucci GG1084S 001 sunglasses
ASAP Rocky, the stylish Harlem rapper has been a prominent figure in both the music and fashion industries for several years, known for his unique street style, establishing him as a fashion icon. He took to the red carpet in a Gucci ensemble, which was no surprise considering his close connection to the brand. His outfit included a custom-made Gucci ensemble: a long tartan skirt over denim jeans, a white shirt, and a stylish blazer. He accessorized with stacked belts and wore trendy square black glasses from Gucci's latest eyewear collection - Gucci GG1084S 001 sunglasses.

Next up, we have Usher. The American singer and actor had just round up a show in Vegas before he brought his trendy presence to the Met Gala red carpet. Usher walked the famous red carpet with up-and-coming British fashion designer Bianca Saunders, and also honoured the designer by wearing a Bianca Saunders tuxedo. Knowing Usher's love for eyewear, we weren't surprised that he finished his look with a shiny pair of round-frame sunglasses.

Affordable Frames Make An Appearance
While it might seem impossible, emulating the style of your beloved celebrities and fashion icons doesn't always have to be a challenge—especially if you opt for the authentic frames they wear rather than knockoffs. Ray-Ban, an iconic All-American brand, has been a global eyewear staple since the 1930s and continues to reign supreme in the Hollywood and fashion scenes. Below, Pierpaolo Piccioli, Creative Director of Valentino, and British singer and record producer Labrinth both effortlessly rock a pair of Ray-Ban's.
