The Best Bags of the Met Gala Madness 2023

Fittings, parties, the main event and more brought out some great bag eye-candy!

Met Gala Bags 2023

In case you missed it, the main event in fashion, The 2023 Met Gala, went down on Monday, and with it came an influx of celebs to NYC. While in the days (and the day of) leading up to the event, uptown is abuzz with celebs coming and going, when the Gala comes to a close, downtown too is the place to be for post-gala partying. This year, there were well over a handful of after-parties to attend, from one hosted by Dua Lipa to another put on by Emily Ratajkowski, plus big soirees held by brands like Chanel and Cartier.

As to be expected, as celebs attended fittings, the main event, and partied until the sun came up, they did so with their favorite designer bags in tow. Take a look below!

Crystal carries from Judith Lieber, New Bottega, Chanel, and more!

Chloe Fineman attended the 2023 Met Gala wearing a custom gown by Wiederhoeft with a Judith Leiber crystal cat bag, an ode to Karl Lagerfeld’s beloved pet cat Choupette.

If you’re looking to spot a celeb during Met Gala week, the place to be is the Upper East Side, specifically The Mark Hotel, where many of the Gala’s attendees will stay. After the big event was over, Met Gala co-chair Dua Lipa was spotted leaving the Mark Hotel with the latest from Bottega Veneta.

why not just go naked. People are just so desperate for attention.

Edd

Well said!! I bet one of them happy to show off dogging style.
Totally freak show.

Slim

Exactly, no class at all!

Gayle

Exactly! Whats with the lingerie style clothes? I dont understand because i live in a conservative country.

I have no idea who the clerking twins. I guess I am off to Google.

J B

Clerking twins works. They are a mess regardless. If I wasn’t invited to main event I would just stay home.

J H

Auto correct changed Clermont to Clerking — LOL! I forgot to look them up so shout out to Mel for the information. Now I have to look up Bad Girls Club. BTW, I think they were at an after party. I would have remembered seeing them in one the many Met Gala roundups.

Mel

I’m cracking up because they were on my once favorite show Bad Girls Club many many moons ago and now they’re at the met gala. Crazy

datura

I love that Lizzo is so relatable here!

Rebra

Not one nice outfit.

Molly

I just don’t get it! If this is supposed to be a tribute to KL why on earth would anyone carry ANY bag other than Chanel ? Duh !
Shaking my head.

Kaly

I was thinking the same thing!!!

Sandy

Agreed! Chanel or Fendi.

J B

Gisele looks amazing. So simple and elegant.

Another day of Emrata trying so hard to stay relevant

Samantha

I love all the outfits! The more creative, wild, outrageous and distinct the better! Isn’t that the fun of the Met Gala? It’s all about shock value and they delivered! ❤️
