Anok Yai Slams 'Urine-Soaked' Met Gala Gossip

Model Anok Yai has vehemently refuted rumors suggesting she was the guest who urinated through her Met Gala outfit. The speculation, published by The Washington Post, cited a fashion stylist who described a client's sheer, crystal-embroidered jumpsuit tearing due to an accident. The newspaper suggested Yai, 28, was the individual based on her 2024 ensemble matching the description.

Yai took to social media on Saturday, May 9, to express her outrage, calling the claims a misrepresentation and demanding factual accuracy. She challenged the publication to present any photographic evidence of a ripped outfit or urine stains. Yai attended the Met Gala in May 2024 in a highly embellished Swarovski bodysuit and returned for the 2026 event in a Balenciaga gown, describing her daring prosthetic wig choice to Vanity Fair.

For her most recent Met Gala appearance, Yai collaborated with stylist Carlos Nazario, who noted her gown's train would create a dramatic entrance. Nazario highlighted the unique nature of her ensemble for the evening.
