Prepare to see some real works of art strutting up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
With “Costume Art” serving as the theme of the 2026 Met Gala—and its corresponding exhibit—notes stylist Law Roach, there should be a wide range of masterpieces on display at the annual May 4 event.
“You’re always excited to see the way people interpret the theme,” Zendaya’s main fashion pro told E! News in March, “and Fashion Is Art is a very broad theme.”
And yes, he expects at least one attendee—invitees include Rihanna, Teyana Taylor, Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat and event co-chairs Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour—to go quite literal.
“Maybe we’ll see someone dressed as the Mona Lisa,” Roach predicted, “which I’m sure somebody will do that.”
After all, the goal of the yearly first-Monday-in-May charity event is to be iconic.
So, Ashley Graham served statue, pairing her custom Di Petsa gown with a gilded mani.
“A little chrome, a little dipped silver,” the model explained to Zuri Hall during Live From E!: Met Gala 2026, “like, you know, a statue coming to life. Fashion is art.”
