36 Most Jaw-Dropping Outfits From The 2026 MET Gala, Including Nicole Kidman

If there’s one night celebrities are officially allowed to be extra, it’s theMet Gala.

The theme for the2026 Met Galaand concurrent spring 2026 museum exhibition was “Costume Art.” And the best-dressed stars took this year’s “Fashion is Art” dress code very seriously.

The guests didn’t just dress up. They turned themselves into walking masterpieces, pulling inspiration from paintings, history lessons, and even their own personal lives.

One carried a mango on the Met steps, while another admitted their Met Gala prep included petting a donkey..

Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman posed with her daughter on the carpet and said, “She had to go to school tomorrow morning.”

Here’s a roundup of the best looks from the 2026 Met Gala.

Lauren Sánchez Bezos revisited a controversy with her 2026 Met Gala outfit.Arriving solo without her billionaire husband Jeff Bezos, the author and philanthropist wore a navy Schiaparelli gown inspired by one of the most famous portraits in The Met’s collection: Madame X by John Singer Sargent.The 1883 painting once caused an uproar for showing its subject, French socialite Madame Pierre Gautreau, wearing a black fitted gown that had one strap slipping off her shoulder.The scandalous painting was kept hidden by Sargent for three decades until he directly sold it The Met.“When you stand in front of it now, you see a beautiful woman,” Sánchez Bezos toldVogue.“For me, the image represents how fashion and cultural standards can shift over time. Today, a strap is a strap, but back when Madame X was painted by Sargent, a strap was a scandal.”

Emma Chamberlain decided tobea painting for the 2026 Met Gala.With the help of two people to carry her dress, the model and influencer showed up as a literal canvas, wearing a custom Mugler gown by Miguel Castro Freitas.The dress, hand-painted by Chicago-born artist Anna Deller-Yee, took 40 hours to paint and another four full days to dry.“I’m somebody who really believes that fashion is art,” she toldVoguea couple of days before the event.“My dad is an oil painter and a watercolor painter, and I grew up in a very creative household with art all over my house,” the influencer said as she explained how her family and her love for art inspired her outfit.

It was a rare mother-daughter moment on the Met steps as Nicole Kidman arrived with her daughter Sunday Rose, who made her first appearance at the annual fashion event.The 58-year-old actress, who is co-chairing the event alongside Beyoncé, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour, wore a custom Chanel by Matthieu Blazy gown in a shade of deep red.The sequined gown took 800 hours to make and had feathers around the hips and cuffs.Her 17-year-old daughter made her debut in a sugary pink Dior ensemble.“I wanted something red because I wanted to embrace the way in which red has been used in art through the years,” Kidman said duringVogue’slivestream. “I feel that it's a strong symbol of love, for passionate love, for power and motherhood.”

Venus Williams showed up in full icon mode and, for the first time, was seen posing on the Met Gala red carpet with her husband Andrea Preti.The tennis star has been a regular guest at the annual event and served as a co-chair this year.As for the inspiration behind her outfit, she simply had to look in the mirror.She wore a Swarovski crystal mesh gown inspired by Robert Pruitt’sVenus Williams, Double Portrait (2022), a portrait of herself commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery.“It reflects not just my journey but the legacy of those who came before me—especially pioneers like Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe, who paved the way,” she toldVogue. “It felt like a personal way to connect with ‘Costume Art’—using fashion to tell a story about legacy and progress and honoring those who made it possible.”

Even fabric can be used like clay. Exhibit A: Christine Beauchamp’s structural red gown.The businesswoman wore a vibrant, tiered crimson lace ensemble with a sculptural ruff that literally framed her face.

Amy Griffin wore a sleek, one-shouldered crimson gown with a plunging neckline and a flowy train trailing behind her.The American venture capitalist and author kept the look sleek, pairing the dress with a chunky silver cuff and a no-drama hairdo.

It was straight out of the office and straight onto the Met steps for Gayle King.The CBS Mornings co-host, 71, said she got ready at the Oprah Daily offices in a video shared on social media.King dressed up in a gold Christian Siriano gown with matching accessories and carried a fan-shaped purse wrapped in golden silk.“You know, fashion is art. I got the assignment,” King quipped in the social media video as her team cheered her on for the big appearance.

Sarina Sanandaji made a polished statement in a crystal-covered gown.The sheer paneling added just enough drama to keep the look memorable for the New York-based communications and brand strategy executive.

At the age of 17, Nicole Kidman’s daughter Sunday Rose accompanied her mother in a lilac floral Dior gown with a billowing bodice.“[My look] is really special to me because I wanted to symbolize something blooming [for] my first Met,” she said duringVogue’slivestream.Her famous mother said the teen model has been “so calm through the whole thing.”“She had to go to school tomorrow morning, by 8 a.m. Keeping it real,” added theBabygirlactress.

Chase Sui Wonders looked “wrapped and ready” for her very first Met Gala ever.The Studioactress, 29, balanced softness and statement, wearing a lavender McQueen dress with a sleeveless high-neck gown and an oversized bow dangling over her right shoulder.She said her look was a “nod to ancient Rome.”“I took a trip to Pompei recently,” she toldE! News. “I loved these wall reliefs. There were all these ancient Roman wall paintings from like, 200 B.C. and I loved how they were just so raw and natural and yet so beautiful and all these natural pigments.”“They're still so well preserved,” added the actress, wearing over 32 carats of diamonds as part of her look.

Cristina Baxter didn’t go for shock value. And it seems to have worked in her favor.The music-industry executive and talent agent’s strapless, softly shimmering gown proved that understated can still be unforgettable.

Colombian superstar Maluma said he kept his “dream” Met Gala look a secret from his family this year.Dressed in a Haider Ackermann suit, said he is going back to his Colombian roots with his outfit and chose a designer born in his native country.“Now I’m chasing the Colombian dream and going back to my roots,” he toldETabout his look.When his family asked him to send pictures of his look, he said he told them, “not this time. I want you guys to wait to watch it.”

Indian billionaire heir, 34, Isha M. Ambani shimmered on the carpet in a golden sari and a sculptural cape that framed her head.More than 1,200 hours and the craftsmanship of 25 artisans went into creating her custom Gaurav Gupta sari.“It's a hand-woven sari, and the blouse is full of my mother's jewelry,” Isha said duringVogue’slivestream.“And then this cape is by Gaurav Gupta,” she went on to say, “and it's supposed to be like a sculptural element to the sari.”“It's like 20 years old,” she continued. “I think when we thought about it, and, you know, fashion is art, we were like, ‘Oh, like … for me as an Indian, it was like the ultimate, like, symbol of art form.’”Ambani was also holding a mango in her hand and for people wondering, she clarified that it was actually a sculpture by Indian artist Subodh Gupta.

Connor Storrie said he was “really not nervous” to be attending the Met Gala for the first time.“I’m excited to see everyone’s looks. I’m excited to meet some people that I haven’t met before. I mean, a lot of people go, right?” he toldGQahead of the event.TheHeated Rivalrystar, 26, was dressed in a Saint Laurent black suit and, after hitting the steps, removed his blazer to flaunt a polka-dotted top.“We went with a very classic Saint Laurent silhouette: a smoking jacket, super-wide shoulder, very black, very, very classic YSL,” he told the outlet.“A wide, uber-straight leg. And then I have this floor-length bow that falls off the back of it. It’s like a p*ssy-bow top without the sleeves, but then the bow goes in the back and it creates this waterfall train that’s underneath the blazer that we will reveal,” he continued. “So you get kind of a two-beat moment. It’s super-duper YSL, super Saint Laurent.”

2026 MET Museum Costume Institute Benefit Gala

For the moment, that's just a formality based on results.The 41-year-old Vonnis still at least a year and a half — along with an ACL surgery — away from even thinking about returning to the World Cup circuit.

She may also retire. She's still sorting all of that out.

Vonn has already undergone eight surgeries since her crash in the women's downhill race on Feb. 8 at the Milan Cortina Games. She suffered a complex tibia fracture thatnearly led to amputating her left leg. Vonn was competing in the race on atorn left ACL, which she injured in a crash leading into the Winter Olympics.

The nomination process is the first phase of making the U.S. Ski & Snowboard team. Those ski racers who accept the nomination, and meet the requirements, will be officially announced to the team in October. The opening World Cup races take place with a giant slalom in Söelden, Austria, in late October.

Other athletes who were nominated include Mikaela Shiffrin, the reigning World Cup overall champion and three-time Olympic gold medalist, along with Olympic downhillchampion Breezy Johnson. On the men's side, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, who capturedhis second Olympic super-G silver medalin Italy, was selected.

Paula Moltzan and Jacqueline Wiles also earned a nomination to the A-team after combining to take an Olympic bronze in the women's team combined.Johnson and Shiffrinfinished fourth in that event.Lauren Macuga is onthe nomination list, too. She missed the Milan Cortina Games after tearing her ACL.

Vonn, a three-time Olympic medalist, came out of retirement in November 2024 after nearly six years away. She was feeling healthy and strong again following a partial titanium implant in her right knee.

She found her speed, too, winning two World Cup races during the 2025-26 season and recording three other podium finishes in five races. She was leading the World Cup downhill standings before her crash at the Olympics. She wound up fifth.

Vonn, who's won 84 World Cup races, has maintained she's not ready to decide her future. Instead, she's focused on healing. Vonn recently attended theMet Gala,using only a cane.

A humanoid robot caught everyone’s attention at theMet Gala 2026. From listening to photographers’ requests to posing for the cameras, it stole the spotlight at the big event.

Humanoid robot steals the spotlight ahead of Met Gala 2026

An AgiBot robot at the Met Gala 2026 surprised photographers and onlookers. It was invited as a guest of designer Alexander Wang at the fashion event. The humanoid figure came out of New York’s The Mark Hotel, where A-list celebrities stay or get ready before the gala. However, before stepping outside, it got trapped inside the elevator.

A video, shared by PEOPLE, featured the robot appearing as soon as the lift’s door opened. Photographers seemed to be waiting for it outside the elevator. One of the female camerapersons was heard saying, “Come on,” to the machine. But the robot got stuck as it took a slight left turn. The bodyguards soon came to its aid and helped it to safely get out of the closed space.

Seeing the situation, the woman photographer/videographer could be heard laughing and saying, “He’s trapped. He needs assistance.” But when the robot posed for the cameras, the paparazzi seemed excited. Another person asked it to “give us a pose,” and the humanoid robot obliged.

Furthermore,InStylealso released a video of the robot from outside the luxury hotel. Like any other celebrity, the Met Gala droid walked towards different directions and posed for the photographers.

Meanwhile, the paparazzi also seemed to be having fun while interacting with the new guest. One of them asked, “Robot, are you ok?” Another praised, “I see you shining there.”

Alysa Liu’s New Louis Vuitton Role Marks a Major Fashion Move

It’s been just a few months sinceAlysa Liucaptured the world’s attention at the2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics, delivering a gold medal performance that instantly became one of the Games’ defining moments. It didn’t take long for Liu to captivate the fashion world, too. Today, on the morning of the 2026 Met Gala, Louis Vuitton has named Liu as its latest house ambassador.

“It’s honestly surreal to be a house ambassador for Louis Vuitton,” the Olympian tells ELLE exclusively. “It’s truly an honor and a privilege, especially for a figure skater, to be recognized in this way, and I take so much pride in that.”

Portrait with obscured facial features focusing on hair and clothing.

Liu’s stay in Milan was an unabashed success. She won two gold medals at the 2026 games—taking both the individual and team titles—and became the first American woman in 24 years to win Olympic gold in women’s figure skating. Equally as impressive as her victories was her individuality—whether it be her now-signature“halo” hair,viral smiley piercing, or free-spirited approach to her craft. “I don’t like boxing myself in,” she explains of her approach to style both on and off the ice.

Liu first entered the Louis Vuitton sphere shortly after, when she made her Paris Fashion Week debut at the brand’s fall/winter 2026 show in March. She now joins an elite roster of the maison’s house ambassadors, an impressive list formed under artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière that includes the likes of Lisa, Zendaya, and Ana de Armas.

When Louis Vuitton approached you about becoming an ambassador, what was your initial reaction?

Life is really about connection, and I feel that Louis Vuitton has really made me feel included. It’s a really empowering feeling to be a part of something so artistic.

What are your first memories of Louis Vuitton?

When I was 11, at a competition in L.A., I saw that one of my competitors had a mini Louis Vuitton backpack with the classic logo-ed up monogram. I remember thinking to myself,That’s so cute!

How would you describe your personal style right now—and how has it evolved over the years?

My style is very eclectic! My personal style has evolved over the years naturally, as I’ve gotten older, but mostly because I’m coming back into myself. I know what I like and what makes me feel good, but because I’m still evolving, it’s fun to leave room for the unexpected and the discovery part of my personality.

Do you see fashion becoming an even bigger part of your life and career moving forward?

I see fashion like I see my art [and] figure skating as a form of self-expression. I don’t think of the two worlds as separate. I love to exercise self-expression in everything I do! Everything I choose to do or wear is just an extension of myself, and that’s what I love sharing. There is nothing to balance as long as I’m just being myself.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Viral Post Claims Jake Paul Accused Fiancée Jutta Leerdam Of Cheating, Here’s What Actually Happened

AvideoinvolvingJake Pauland his fiancéeJutta Leerdamhas been circulating widely online, with a caption claiming he accused her ofcheatingwith his best friend and threw her expensiveengagement ringinto the water.

The clip quickly went viral on X, with usersreactingstrongly to what the caption suggested.

But when people actually watched the video, there wasno clear moment, audio, or context confirming any of those claims.

Around the same time, Paul alsospokeout about ongoingrumorsaround his relationship.

The viral video gained attention mainly because of its caption, not the footage itself.

The post claimed that Paul accused Leerdam of cheating and reacted by throwing her engagement ring, reportedly worth $500k, into the water.

However, the clip itself does not show any such moment. There was no visible proof, no clear dialogue, and nothing that directly confirmed the caption’s claim.

Despite that, the combination of a dramatic narrative and a trending video was enough for the rumour to spread quickly.

Online users quickly began reacting as if the situation had already been confirmed, even though the source of the claim remained unclear.

Rumours about Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam breakup and cheating came from Dutch reports

The speculation appears to have started earlier with reports from Dutch media personality Yvonne Coldeweijer, who claimed that Paul had ended his engagement with Leerdam.

“Jutta has been dumped by her fiancé Jake! He is completely done with her!” she wrote.

She also alleged that he had taken back the engagement ring and ended the relationship after dropping her off at home.

Additional claims suggested cheating, but none of these accusations were backed by any verified evidence.

The rumors gained more attention when fans noticed a brief lack of interaction between the couple on social media.

However, others pointed out that Leerdam was still liking Paul’s posts, which did not align with the breakup claims.

So far, no official confirmation has supported the idea that the couple has split or that any cheating incident took place.

Paul addressed the situation directly, shutting down the rumors and defending his relationship.

“Seeing the Dutch media lying about my fiancé Jutta and I. There is so much false information being spread about Jutta in the past years. It needs to stop,” he wrote.

His statement made it clear that the claims circulating online were not accurate.

This also comes shortly after he publicly supported Leerdam during the Winter Olympics, where she won gold.

At the time, he posted, “Juttttttttttaaaaaaaa. I can’t stop crying. You did it my love. Olympic Gold. God is great and so are you.”

Although there’s no proof to this rumour, people still jumped in with their opinions online.

“Haha, cope, he ain’t getting it better than Jutta,” one user wrote.

“Why do people still give this guy attention?” another added.

“Being betrayed hurts, but reacting in the heat of the moment on live won’t make it better,” one comment read.

Others focused on the rumored ring. “Must be nice to not worry about $500K. I mean bro could have at least sold it,” one person wrote.

“Jake acting like a victim after years of scamming people is pure comedy,” another added.

“All for publicity”, some commenters expressed on social media
