Everything Met Gala: The Boycott, The Guest List & How 'Fashion Is Art' Will Look On The Red Carpet

It is fashion’s biggest night of the year, but the Met Gala is much more than just a parade of celebrities on a red carpet.

As we prepare for the 2026 event, we explore why this exclusive party is actually a vital fundraiser that bankrolls fashion as an art form. We dive into this year’s conceptual theme, and the dress code that's expected to ditch 'pretty dresses' for sculptural, gallery-level installations.

Plus, we look at the power players making headlines this year; with Beyoncé returning to co-chair for the first time in a decade, and Jeff Bezos’ controversial sponsorship causing a stir, the guest list is as much about cultural tension as it is about couture.
