As ever, the Metropolitan Museum of Art played host to the hotly anticipated event, and truly, this year the attendees raised the bar.
Co-chairs Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams brought the glamour in full and glorious force, taking the 2026 Met Gala’s dress code of ‘Fashion is Art’ at its word.
Ahead, take an exclusive peek inside the 2026 Met Gala.
