Met Gala 2023: Inside The Exquisite Dinner Menu 

By Aanchal Mathur

Met Gala 2023 recently took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and this year the event honored the late German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.

While the fashion quotient is always high at the event, the food too always becomes the talk of the town. This year's dinner menu too was as spectacular as the theme itself.

A report in Vogue revealed that the culinary concept for the event was inspired by one of Lagerfeld's most famous soirees - the wedding reception he hosted for Paloma Picasso.

The famed caterer Olivier Cheng was the brain behind the stunning dinner which recreated Lagerfeld's soiree of 1978.
