The first Monday in May is quickly approaching, and we can't wait to see this year's outfits.

As April comes to a close, the next major event celebrities have on their social calendar is the annual Met Gala. Taking place in New York City, this year's theme is a tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld. The designer left an incredible, albeit tainted, legacy behind in the world of fashion. At this time, it remains unknown which stars we'll see sauntering down the red carpet in their designer duds. Recent years have seen a slew of famous faces attend. However, rumour has it that Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has cut down the guest list considerably for 2023.

On Saturday (April 22), @PopHive revealed a list of stars who are rumoured to be attending the upcoming gala. Nicki Minaj is apparently going to be in attendance after working with Burberry on her all-black look last year. Her rival rap diva, Cardi B, is also said to have received an invite. For her part, the mother of two teamed up with Versace for her spectacular golden gown in 2022.

2023's Rumoured Met Gala Guests

Perhaps the name fans were most excited to see is Beyoncé. She hasn't stepped out for the Met Gala since 2016. Following the arrival of her RENAISSANCE album last summer, the Houston native has been emerging back into the spotlight. We certainly wouldn't be surprised to see her bring one of the best looks of the evening. Others who have previously donned noteworthy duds at the party include Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively, and Zendaya.

All of them could potentially show up on the first Monday of May, along with Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus, Bad Bunny, and Jenna Ortega. Though they've made it on the list for several years past, it's been said that none of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters are welcome this time.
