Met Gala 2026: When Costume Art Goes Full Spectrum
The 2026 Met Gala embraced its Costume Art theme with a wild, sculpture-meets-fashion showcase: Bad Bunny aged with prosthetics, Rihanna and Beyoncé delivered futuristic, sculptural looks, and many guests wore masks or armor-inspired ensembles. Highlights included Lauren Sánchez Bezos toning down her Schiaparelli gown, John Galliano’s first Zara collab dressing Stevie Nicks in a stadium-sized ballgown, and masked moments from stars like Gwendoline Christie. Protests targeting sponsor Jeff Bezos and the event’s publicity overshadowed some of the spectacle, prompting debate over the theme’s wearability and meaning while fashion-as-art dominated the chatter.
