Met Gala 2026: Art Meets Fashion

0:00On April 28th, the 2026 Met Gala drops on Monday, May 4th, and you can catch the whole red carpet spectacle live on Vogue's website. You too, and socials. It's Fashion's Ultimate fundraiser for the Met's Costum Institute, pulling in celebs and designers for that iconic night that shapes trends. We're a wide. This year's vibe is all about the costume art theme. With address code screaming, fashion is art, expect guests, channeling living paintings on the carpet. Co-chairing the scene are heavy hitters like Beyonce, Nicole Kidman, and her third go-round, Venus Williams, and Queen Anna Winter, backed by Jeff. Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, Bezos as top sponsors. Not everyone's on the invite list, though. Anna's thrown shade of folks like Donald Trump and stars such as Billy Porter, Tina Fey, Gwyneth Paltrow. And Demi Lovato have bounced or spoken out, calling it everything from unwelcoming to a jerk parade. Tickets run about $75,000 a pop from last year, with tables hitting $350,000 pure elite access.

Tune in come May 4th for the Masterpieces in Motion, and see if the Curse strikes again, or if these co-chairs steal the show entirely.
