Met Gala's Weirdest Trend: Wearing Extra Body Parts!
5 May
Summary
- Attendees embraced a 'body on the body' trend with extra limbs and faces.
- Gowns featured custom breastplates, painted bodices, and skeletal designs.
- Notable looks included Beyoncé's skeleton, Lisa's extra limbs, and masks.
The 2026 Met Gala's theme, "Costume is Art" with a "Fashion Is Art" dress code, inspired attendees to focus on "the dressed body." This led to a dominant, unexpected trend: incorporating extra body parts into their ensembles. Celebrities showcased molded nipples, naked gowns, custom breastplates, and painted bodices.
A particularly striking interpretation involved wearing literal extra body parts. Beyoncé stunned in a custom Olivier Rousteing skeleton gown, embodying an inside-out approach to this theme. Lisa from Blackpink wore a Robert Wun gown featuring two extra limbs, which held her veil.
Other notable avant-garde looks included Jordan Roth in another Robert Wun design with a spectral companion, Gwendoline Christie in a Giles Deacon creation with a self-portrait mask, and Sabine Getty in an Ashi Studio gown with painted hands. Paloma Elsesser accessorized with an extra metallic ear, and Katy Perry's Stella McCartney outfit included an extra finger detail on her gloves.
