The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has once again brought together the most prominent figures in the fashion industry—from models and actresses to stylists and designers—under the banner of Costume Art, the 2026 exhibition, and the chosen dress code, Fashion is Art. Both reinforce this vision by celebrating fashion as an artistic expression and exploring the intimate relationship between the human body and clothing throughout history.
Held to raise funds for the museum, this year's Met Gala has become the subject of headlines and much anticipation due to Beyoncé's return after a decade, and the participation of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos as the main sponsors.
Amidst glamour, archival silhouettes, and the most surreal styles, the Big Apple has once again become the epicenter of Haute Couture, where the pulse of fashion and trends is measured with one of the most anticipated red carpets of the year. Check out all the biggest celebrity arrivals.
