The Met Gala 2026, fashion’s most anticipated event, is set to take place on the first Monday in May, raising funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. This year’s theme, “Costume Art,” aligns with the museum’s new exhibition showcasing 400 outfits and objects spanning 5,000 years. The dress code, “Fashion Is Art,” encourages guests to explore fashion as an art form, with potential references to historical artistic movements. Co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams, the gala promises a star-studded evening. The event, which opens the Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, is sponsored by Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sanchez Bezos, sparking some controversy. While the public won’t see inside the gala, the red carpet will feature a variety of creative interpretations of the theme.
