Held on the first Monday in May each year, the 2026 Met Gala features a “Fashion is Art” dress code, inspired by the institute’s spring exhibition, “Costume Art.” Opening to the public on May 10, the exhibition is the first to be housed in the new Condé M. Nast Galleries, located adjacent to the museum’s Great Hall.
Bringing out fashionable A-list stars from Hollywood and beyond, this year’s soirée once again features Anna Wintour back as a co-chair, marking her first Met Gala since her announcement last year that she was stepping down as editor-in-chief of Vogue. A trio of icons from across entertainment and sports join Wintour for the 2026 festivities, with Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams also serving as co-chairs.
Meanwhile, the gala’s host committee is pretty start-studded as well. Co-chaired by fashion designer Anthony Vaccarello and actress Zoë Kravitz, this year’s committee is comprised of Adut Akech, Angela Bassett, Sinéad Burke, Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Gwendoline Christie, Alex Consani, Misty Copeland, Elizabeth Debicki, Lena Dunham, Paloma Elsesser, Rebecca Hall, LISA, Chloe Malle, Aimee Mullins, Sam Smith, Tschabalala Self, Amy Sherald, Teyana Taylor, Lauren Wasser, Anna Weyant, A’ja Wilson, Chase Sui Wonders, and Yseult.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sánchez Bezos are the lead sponsors for both the gala and spring exhibition, and will serve as honorary chairs for Monday’s party.
