Broughty Ferry-based actor Barry Keoghan has joined stars in New York for the Met Gala 2023.

The Irish Bafta-winning star was spotted on the red carpet for what is commonly referred to as “fashion’s biggest night out”.

He was spotted alongside rapper Stormzy and a host of other stars.

Keoghan lives in Broughty Ferry with partner Alyson Kierans and their son Brando.

The couple bought a house in the area late last year.

Singer Rihanna, tennis star Serena Williams and model Karlie Kloss made the Met Gala headlines as they all showed off their growing baby bumps.

Among the others wearing extravagant costumes was Jared Leto, the American actor and frontman of Thirty Seconds to Mars – who will be appearing at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Dundee later this month.

What is the Met Gala?

The Met Gala is an annual celebration of fashion.

It was established in 1948 and acts as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York.

It has become one of the most popular fashion events in the world.

The guest list is largely kept secret until celebrities hit the red carpet and about 600 people usually attend.

This year’s theme was “In honour of Karl”, with the dress code asking celebrities to be inspired by Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld in their looks.

The fashion designer, who died in 2019, was a big supporter of the event and a regular attendee.

The bride is a major symbol of Chanel, as the fashion house historically closes its couture show with a white wedding outfit.
