The 2026 Met Gala, held on Monday at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcased a star-studded lineup of celebrities embracing the theme 'Costume Art' with the dress code 'Fashion Is Art.' The event, co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour, raised a record $42 million, with individual tickets priced at $100,000. The gala, primarily funded by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, featured attendees in elaborate, artistic attire, including Sam Smith in a dramatic black bejewelled opera coat with a feathered headpiece and Lauren Sánchez Bezos in a midnight blue gown with pearl detailing. The exhibition, set to open to the public on May 10, will explore themes like the classical body, aging, and pregnancy through historical and contemporary garments. Protests occurred in New York City leading up to the event, though they did not disrupt the gala itself.
