Charli xcx is heading to the 2026 Met Gala! The singer and living legend stepped out of her hotel and made her way to the red carpet wearing a beautiful black Saint Laurent gown by Anthony Vaccarello embellished with a sparkling silver flower. A perfect look for this garden-themed carpet.

This look is a bit of a departure for Charli’s Brat era, where she focused on party-ready clothes. “I wanted to keep everything quite minimal,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I think that was really important. I think there’s an element of really stripping things back and just wearing the clothes that I would wear to go out to a party…having a wardrobe full of basics, like your favorite pair of sunglasses, your favorite white tank top, your favorite good black jacket you can wear at 5 a.m. and some really good black boots.”

“It’s very important for it to feel like clothes that I would actually wear,” she added. “The wardrobe on stage is just my wardrobe—my favorite t-shirts, my favorite miniskirts, and some things designers custom-made for me that I can’t wait to wear in my life, you know?”
