Katy Perry Goes Incognito With Astronaut Mask at Met Gala 2026
Jordan Roth knows his way around a Met Gala theme.
After all, the seven-time attendee turned heads at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2026 fundraising event May 4 in a custom Robert Wun gown complete with a human-shaped sculpture embracing him from the back. (See all the stars at the Met Gala here.)
As Jordan told Vogue of his look, “It’s a deeply magical experience to live inside this piece.”
Though bringing the jaw-dropping look to life wasn’t easy, Jordan shared his fail-safe method for creating an unforgettable style moment on fashion’s biggest night.
“It always begins with the theme, and what curiosities it sparks in me,” he explained. “And this one began with a curiosity about classical sculpture, and, well, really the multifigure classical sculpture.”
For this year’s “Costume Art” theme and “Fashion is Art” dress code, the Tony winner took inspiration from one of his favorite works held at the Met—Pygmalion and Galatea by the 19th-century French painter Jean-Léon Gérôme.
“It is the blur,” he explains of the painting’s intrigue. “It’s a moment of transformation between art and life. And it is a moment of transcendence between artist and art.”
And when the time came to actuate his idea, Jordan knew that becoming a small part of a larger art piece was nonnegotiable.
“A solo figure is often posing for the viewer,” he explained, “but multiple figures are usually in some kind of heated moment—romance, love, lust, fear, violence. Something passionate is going on among these bodies.”

The Broadway producer continued, “And my curiosity was, ‘What would it be to be a body in that sculpture, to live in that sculpture?’”
In order to get the “shadow” figure just right, Jordan revealed the process included more than a dozen sketches to give him and his inanimate plus one “the ability to really dance together and have a story that evolves was crucial.”
Though he’s grown attached to the 3-D printed figure, Jordan shared that it’ll have to sit out on most of the night’s festivities.
As he put it, “I don’t want to be serving my neighbor’s soup to my sculpture!”
