Beyoncé has not attended the Met Gala since 2016 (pictured) but is returning this year as one of the event's co-chairs
The "Super Bowl of fashion" is officially back. As the first Monday in May arrives, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is preparing to host the Met Gala 2026, a high-stakes evening of glamour that serves as the primary fundraiser for the museum's Costume Institute.
This year’s theme, Costume Art, accompanies a massive new exhibition featuring 400 objects spanning five millennia. The official dress code, "Fashion is Art," encourages attendees to treat their bodies as a canvas, News.Az reports, citing BBC.
Expect the red carpet to be a living gallery. Insiders predict looks inspired by the Renaissance, Baroque, and Impressionist movements, with some stars likely recreating specific, iconic paintings through couture.
In a massive win for fans, Beyoncé is making her highly-anticipated return to the Met steps for the first time since 2016. She serves as a co-chair this year alongside Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman and tennis legend Venus Williams.
The host committee is equally packed with talent, featuring:
The evening is overseen by Met Gala chair Anna Wintour, alongside honorary chairs Anthony Vaccarello and Zoë Kravitz.
While the dinner and party inside remain strictly private (and "selfie-free"), the red carpet is a global digital event.
The Stream: Vogue will host the official livestream across YouTube, TikTok, and their digital site.
The Hosts: Model Ashley Graham, Cara Delevingne, and La La Anthony will lead the coverage, with Emma Chamberlain returning for her viral celebrity interviews.
Timing: Arrivals generally begin at 18:00 EST (23:00 BST).
Exclusivity comes with a heavy price tag. While most celebrities attend as guests of major fashion houses, individual tickets are reported to cost around $75,000, with full tables starting at $350,000. However, money alone won't get you in—every single guest must be personally approved by Anna Wintour.
The event also marks a massive weekend for pop culture, coinciding with the highly publicized release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, further cementing the gala’s influence on the global entertainment landscape.
