Met Gala 2026 Embraces Costume Art with a Star-Studded Red Carpet

CBS News’ live coverage from the Met Gala 2026 centers on the Costume Art exhibit and the dress code Fashion is Art, spotlighting a star-studded red carpet with Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kate Moss, Kylie Jenner and more in daring, art-inspired looks. Zendaya is absent this year, while her stylist Law Roach attends. The event is co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams, with Anna Wintour at the helm and Anthony Vaccarello and Zoë Kravitz leading the host committee; Vogue hosts Ashley Graham and Emma Chamberlain also appear. Guests will preview the new Costume Institute exhibit ahead of its May 10 public opening, performances are planned, and there’s a strict no-phone policy inside the museum, with a brief security moment when someone tried to storm the red carpet.
