'Has to be Lady Gaga': Baffled internet tries to guess celeb who was wrapped up and carried to Met Gala 2023
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The Met Gala has a reputation for consistently generating work that astounds viewers, so this year's Met Gala couldn't possibly break its longstanding tradition. This time, spectators were caught off guard when they saw a mysterious celebrity being carried out of the Carlyle Hotel while entirely wrapped from head to toe.
This year, celebrities are going to extreme efforts to protect their Met Gala looks before entering the beige carpet, securing themselves with umbrellas, security, and even plastic wrap to prevent early paparazzi photos. These peculiar strategies for avoiding getting papped look much more outlandish than the outfit itself. Twitter users, however, are fixated on one A-list celebrity who is spotted all covered with what appears to be a body bag around him or her.

'It's a very emotional night for me'
The theme for this year is 'Karl Lagerfeld: A line of Beauty', which is a tribute to the late German fashion designer who died in February 2019. Dame Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue, anticipated having "a very emotional night" as she honored her friend Karl Lagerfeld.
"It's a very emotional night for me. I love Karl so much and it's just wonderful to see so many people who are turning out to honour him, and give him the recognition that he so deserves," Wintour told Vogue on the red carpet.
