The 2026 Met Gala is gearing up for a night of creativity and spectacle with the announcement of its official dress code: “Fashion Is Art.” Hosted by Anna Wintour, the gala encourages attendees to think beyond conventional fashion and use their ensembles as a canvas for artistic expression. Designers and celebrities alike are expected to bring bold, imaginative looks that blend couture with creativity, making the theme a true celebration of fashion as an art form.
Adding star power to the evening, Beyoncé and Venus Williams will serve as co-chairs, guiding the event with their unique influence and style. Their leadership promises to set a glamorous and unforgettable tone, highlighting the connection between culture, celebrity, and fashion on one of the world’s most talked-about red carpets.
The “Fashion Is Art” theme aligns with the gala’s ongoing mission to merge creativity and philanthropy. Beyond the glitz, the Met Gala remains a major fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, supporting exhibitions and initiatives that celebrate fashion as a vital part of cultural history. With anticipation already building, 2026’s celebration is shaping up to be an inspiring and visually stunning tribute to the artistry of style.
