Inside the 2026 Met Gala: When Fashion Becomes Art

The 2026 Met Gala arrives on May 4 at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year’s dress code, “Fashion Is Art,” ties into the Costume Art spring exhibition and invites guests to blur the line between couture and canvas. Co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour, the gala kicks off the new Condé M. Nast Galleries next to the Great Hall. For the first time, Jeff Bezos and his wife serve as lead sponsors with a reported $10 million contribution. Zendaya sits out after seven straight appearances, while Sabrina Carpenter, Lena Dunham and Katy Perry are confirmed. Tickets start at $100,000 each, with tables at $350,000. Red carpet highlights will stream live across Vogue’s digital channels.
