Bezos-Backed Met Gala Sparks Boycott Buzz as Ford Stages Rare Return
At Met Gala 2026, themed Fashion Is Art, co-chairs Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour headline a night sponsored by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, fueling online chatter about a ‘Bezos-list’ of attendees amid boycott talk. Zendaya is skipping; Meryl Streep reportedly declined a co-chair role amid Bezos ties; Emily Blunt attends as Tom Ford makes a rare public appearance. Designers’ loyalties (Kidman in Chanel, Kravitz in Saint Laurent, Hathaway in Prada) hint at a fashion-meets-commerce night filled with art-inspired looks.
