At the 2026 Met Gala, the Metropolitan Museum of Art will celebrate its spring Costume Institute exhibition, titled “Costume Art”—and set to co-chair the fête are major forces from the worlds of entertainment, sport, and, of course, fashion: namely, Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour.
This spring’s event will mark Beyoncé’s first Met Gala appearance in a decade—she last walked the Met’s steps in 2016, when she attended the “Manus x Machina” gala in Givenchy Haute Couture. Kidman and Williams, meanwhile, have made regular appearances over the years, including at the “Superfine” gala this past May. (There, Kidman wore sculptural, vintage-inspired Balenciaga, while Williams opted for a custom tennis skirt, polo, and cape by Lacoste.)
And the news doesn’t end there: Anthony Vaccarello and Zoë Kravitz will co-chair the 2026 Met Gala Host Committee, with additional members including Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Gwendoline Christie, Alex Consani, Misty Copeland, Elizabeth Debicki, Lena Dunham, Paloma Elsesser, LISA, Chloe Malle, Sam Smith, Teyana Taylor, Lauren Wasser, Anna Weyant, A’ja Wilson, and Yseult. (More host committee members will be announced at a later date.)
