Met Gala 2026: All the Latinos taking center stage at fashion’s biggest night [Live Update]

La La Anthony was the first Latina to appear at the 2026 Met Gala. The Puerto Rican star looked amazing in a body-contouring bronze mermaid gown by Wiederhoeft, covered in intricate embroidery, raised appliqué, and crystal accents.

The dress leaned into the “Fashion Is Art” theme by transforming her figure into a textured, almost carved canvas.

She completed the look with sleek auburn side-swept hair, glowing neutral makeup, and dangling earrings.

Lauren Sánchez Bezos second year at the 2026 Met Gala brought high glamour. Jeff Bezos’ wife chose a sleek navy satin mermaid gown from Schiaparelli. The dress featured a structured sweetheart neckline with delicate crystal-embellished straps.

According to the brand, the inspiration behind the gown is "the story of Sargent's Madame X, and how a small detail, like the fallen jeweled strap, once sparked such strong public reaction."

Daniel Roseberry, Creative Director at Maison Schiaparelli, "took the spirit of the gown Sargent painted and made something entirely his own; the silhouette nods to the painting, and the pearl and crystal straps are a quiet reference to the original."

Sánchez Bezos is an honorary chair of the event celebrating fashion as art. Her hair had voluminous side-parted waves, bronzed neutral makeup, and minimal jewelry.

Naomi Osaka arrived in a dramatic, avant-garde sculptural white gown by Robert Wun, blending high fashion with performance art. The Haitian Japanese tenis player wore a voluminous silhouette featuring exaggerated shoulders and a flowing skirt, while delicate red petal-like embellishments appeared to float across the dress.

Maluma is once again representing Latinos at the Met Ball, and this time, he arrived serving a sleek, high-fashion moment. The singer and actor rocked a tailored black ensemble, featuring a fitted blazer with subtle shimmer detailing.

The wide-leg trousers elongate his silhouette, while his polished, pointed shoes refine the outfit.

Loli Bahia looks chic and sharp at the Met, wearing a modern take on tuxedo dressing. Bahia wore a tailored black suit worn without a shirt, creating a clean, plunging neckline that feels bold and controlled.

Fabiola Beracasa Beckman, a Venezuelan-born producer and fashion insider known for her deep ties to luxury houses and the Met Gala itself, wore a sculpted nude gown that hugs the body like a second skin, featuring sheer paneling and delicate contour seams.

Raúl Ávila leaned into a sharply tailored double-breasted tuxedo with a subtle textured finish, paired with a satin shawl lapel, slim trousers, and a loosely draped polka-dot scarf.

Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral, a New York–based architect and designer with Dominican roots, debuted at the Met Gala in a romantic strapless black gown textured with delicate feathering and subtle sparkle, while her boyfriend and SNL star Marcello Hernández rocked a tailored black suit that features subtle embellishment along the lapels, paired with a crisp white shirt and bow tie. The Cuban Dominican comedian star finished with chunky dress shoes.

Camila Mendes leans into sheer, sculptural elegance with a deep chocolate-brown gown crafted from finely pleated, translucent fabric. The bodice features corset-style paneling that elongates the torso. Her beauty styling stays clean with a sleek, center-parted bob, natural, glowing makeup, and understated jewelry.

Camila Morrone wore a strapless ivory gown, hugging the body with a clean, column silhouette that highlights her frame. The look aligns with her ongoing relationship with Chanel, known for refined, timeless pieces.

Colman Domingo’s look was bold, expressive, and vivid. The Emmy-winning actor is one of fashion’s most daring red carpet dressers. The star wore a diamond-patterned top in saturated hues of red, yellow, blue, and purple cinched at the waist with a wide black sash.

He completed the look with polished black shoes and stacked jewelry.

Paloma Elsesser arrived at the Met Gala in a detailed, pastel-toned gown, blending soft hues of blue, peach, and gold across a sheer, body-skimming silhouette. The piece also had intricate embroidery, appliqué florals, and shimmering embellishments. It featured a plunging neckline and long sleeves that balance sensuality with structure.

Her styling included soft waves, glowing skin, and delicate diamond jewelry.

Rachel Zegler attends the gala in a conceptual look, stepping away from her soft, princess-coded Met Gala style, swapping it for a more avant-garde, sculptural aesthetic. The look featured a structured white corset gown with a lace-up bodice and off-the-shoulder draping.

Raul Lopez, founder of Luar and one of the most influential voices in modern American fashion, blended street culture and couture in a bold, graphic look. The Dominican fashion designer wore a body-skimming set covered in multicolored, abstract patterns combining rich reds, yellows, blues, and blacks in a textured, high-shine finish.

Bad Bunny completely transformed his image for the 2026 Met Gala. The Puerto Rican icon walked the green carpet in a sharply tailored all-black suit, oversized bow tie, polished dress shoes, and a gold-topped cane.

Danny Ramirez wore a tailored, double-breasted suit in a warm beige shade, styled with relaxed trousers and minimal accessories.
