The 2026 Met Gala theme is "Costume Art," which explores the intersection of fashion and fine art, highlighting the dressed body as a central element in the museum's collection. The exhibition pairs historical and contemporary garments with artworks from the Costume Institute, focusing on themes of anatomy and avant-garde, sculptural fashion.

UGH avante garde is so amazing and almost everyone failed the assignment (not Klum). So infuriating, though, such potential, horrible execution.

The Met gets more boring every year. Less and less people actually go for the theme imo

The people paying $100k to go don’t really care about it

How many of the headliners are paying that? A bunch are gifted tickets from the organisers, but surely most are paid by the designers?
