The biggest night in fashion has officially come and gone, with celebrities from around the world gracing the 2026 Met Gala red carpet with a variety of whimsical looks.
This year, invites for the exclusive Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute fundraiser came with the dress code of “Fashion is Art”, with each guest interpreting the theme differently.
Attending the event for the first time since 2016, Met Gala co-chair Beyoncé provided one of the night’s stand out looks, alongside famous faces including Madonna, Sabrina Carpenter, Bad Bunny, Gwendoline Christie and more.
From sports icons including Venus Williams and Naomi Osaka to stars transformed for the red carpet such as Heidi Klum and Bad Bunny, here are 31 of the best - and weirdest - looks from the 2026 Met Gala.
