It’s the first Monday in May and that means fashion’s biggest night out is officially here.
The 2026 Met Gala is expected, per usual, to be a star-studded and A-list affair, with some of the biggest and most impressive names in music, movies, sports, fashion and more in attendance. The guest list is kept mostly under wraps, but there already are a slew of stars expected to make an appearance.
Confirmed to attend are this year’s co-chairs Beyoncé, Venus Williams and Nicole Kidman, as well as Anna Wintour, now in her new role as Condé Nast’s chief content officer.
Kidman and Williams attended the 2025 Met Gala, but this will be Beyoncé’s first appearance in a decade.
The four chairs will be joined by Anthony Vaccarello and Zoë Kravitz, who will also co-chair the celebration’s host committee that includes additional celebrities who will undoubtedly be dressed to the nines in designer wear.
The 2026 Met Gala theme is “Costume Art,” with the dress code described as “fashion is art.” Beyoncé, Kidman, Williams and the rest of the VIP guests are expected to interpret the theme and dress code by expressing “their own relationship to fashion as an embodied artform,” according to Vogue‘s guidelines.
Here are the best looks worn by celebrities at the 2025 Met Gala.
At last year’s Met Gala, Rihanna surprised guests, fans and Met Gala viewers by revealing her pregnancy, André 3000 literally carried a piano on his back, and Bad Bunny honored his Puerto Rican roots, while Zendaya and Anna Sawai had nearly identical looks.
Expect many jaw-dropping, head-turning, inspirational and, perhaps, shocking looks as the stars make their way up the celebrated stairs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
