The Best Dressed Celebrities at the 2026 Met Gala: Highlights from Rihanna, Hailey Bieber, and Others
Met Gala 2026: Celebrities Showcase Artistic Fashion on the Red Carpet
Last night, the Met Gala 2026 saw an array of stunning celebrity outfits, aligning with the event’s dress code of “Fashion Is Art,” inspired by the museum’s latest exhibition, “Costume Art.” The red carpet featured sculptural, painterly, and cinematic styles that captivated attendees and viewers alike.
Numerous celebrities drew inspiration from diverse artistic works. For example, Sabrina Carpenter wore a Dior dress that paid homage to Audrey Hepburn’s iconic 1954 film, Sabrina. Kendall Jenner channeled the classical sculpture "Winged Victory of Samothrace" with her GapStudio gown, while Gracie Abrams presented a look reminiscent of a Klimt painting, exuding timeless beauty.
Others embraced the exhibition’s themes of clothed and naked bodies. Chase Infiniti made a bold statement in a trompe l’oeil Thom Browne outfit, while Hailey Bieber dazzled in a sculpted breastplate made from 24-karat gold designed by Saint Laurent. Beyoncé, serving as co-chair, arrived in a striking Olivier Rousteing creation showcasing a sparkling silver skeleton, completing a night filled with artistic expression.
