Summary
- Beyoncé attends Met Gala for first time since 2016.
- Met Gala 2026 theme is Costume Art, linking fashion and art.

The Met Gala, renowned as fashion's biggest night, will see Beyoncé grace the event for the first time since 2016. She will co-chair alongside Venus Williams, Nicole Kidman, and Anna Wintour, taking on responsibilities from guest lists to hosting. The chosen theme, Costume Art, aligns with the Costume Institute's spring exhibition, which juxtaposes historical and contemporary garments with artistic representations of the body.
This year's exhibition, located in the newly named Condé Nast Galleries, promises to delve into the concept of the 'dressed body' through thematic sections like the anatomical and aging body. The theme is expected to inspire a wide array of creative and daring interpretations from attendees, continuing the Met Gala's tradition of spectacular fashion moments, reminiscent of past iconic looks.
Adding to the buzz, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos have been announced as the primary sponsors for the 2026 gala. This sponsorship marks a significant foray into the fashion world for the tech mogul and has sparked considerable discussion online. Anthony Vaccarello and Zoë Kravitz will lead the host committee.
