About MET Gala 2026
The Met Gala 2026 theme was "Costume Art," with the official dress code being "Fashion Is Art."
The event, which took place on May 4, 2026 in New York, served as the opening for the Costume Institute's spring exhibition of the same name. The concept encouraged attendees to treat their bodies as canvases and explore fashion as a conceptual, artistic medium rather than just a red-carpet garment.
