Watch Ashley Graham, La La Anthony, and Cara Delevingne talk viewers through all the fun and fashion at the 2026 Met Gala, with Emma Chamberlain as Vogue’s Red Carpet Correspondent.
On Monday, November 17, 2025, the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced the Costume Institute’s spring 2026 exhibition, “Costume Art.” The show—set to inaugurate the Met’s new, nearly 12,000-square-foot Condé M. Nast Galleries—will consider depictions of the dressed body from across the Met’s curatorial departments, pairing garments with art objects spanning some 5,000 years.
Objects in “Costume Art” will be divided into a “series of thematic body types,” ranging from the “Naked Body” and the “Classical Body”—both of which are well represented within the museum’s collection—to those, like the “Pregnant Body” and the “Aging Body,” that have more often been overlooked.
Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour will co-chair the 2026 Met Gala.
Continuing a tradition from years past, the 2026 Met Gala will also have a host committee. That group will include committee co-chairs Anthony Vaccarello and Zoë Kravitz, along with members Adut Akech, Angela Bassett, Sinéad Burke, Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Gwendoline Christie, Misty Copeland, Alex Consani, Elizabeth Debicki, Lena Dunham, Paloma Elsesser, Rebecca Hall, LISA, Chloe Malle, Aimee Mullins, Amy Sherald, Tschabalala Self, Sam Smith, Teyana Taylor, Anna Weyant, Lauren Wasser, A’ja Wilson, Chase Sui Wonders, and Yseult. Additionally, as the lead sponsors for the 2026 gala and exhibition, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos will serve as honorary chairs.
