The best looks from the 2026 Met Gala red carpet

Making her debut in Dior was Sunday Rose Kidman Urban with her mother, Nicole Kidman, donned in custom Chanel by Matthieu Blazy.

Styled by Jason Bolden, the sequin blood-red gown with feathers at the hips and cuffs took over 800 hours to craft. The 2026 co-chair accessorised with a stunning lapis lazuli ring.

This gold strapless gown took the Chanel atelier 761 hours to create. The gown included 1,100 pieces of embroidery, with a cascading train lined with flower petals.

Margot hasn’t attended the Met since 2023.

Even though Stevie Nicks has made the history books as the Fleetwood songstress, the 2026 Met Gala is her very first appearance.

The 77-year-old wore a very special look from Zara, created exclusively by John Galliano.

Art comes in many shapes and forms. Unlike other designs, Anne Hathaway’s look was inspired by the poem ‘Ode on a Gecian Urn‘ by John Keats.

The one-of-a-kind dress was a Michael Kors Collection dress, designed in collaboration with American artist Peter McGough who literally hand-painted the gown.

Embracing a Gladiator-inspired look, tennis legend Serena Williams looked glamorous in a Marc Jacobs mini dress.

Sarah Paulson wore a custom Matieres Fecales for the 2026 Met Gala. The most fascinating aspect of her look, however, was the money blindfold.

Love Story’s Sarah Pidgeon continues to be the talk of the town. While this isn’t her Met Gala debut, it is the first time Sarah has walked the steps with blonde hair!

The actress donned a stunning yellow Loewe gown with her hair looking very Carolyn Bessette Kennedy inspired with tousled waves.

Arriving hand-in-hand for their Met Gala debut was Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster.

Blake Lively is no newbie when it comes to extravagant Met Gala outfits. The Archival Versace dress didn’t originally feature a 13-foot train, but it was “Met-afied” as the actress would describe it.

Making a regal return to the Met Gala, Beyonce caused quite the scene.

After a 10-year hiatus, the singer returned as one of this year’s co-chairs wearing a sparkling skeleton gown by Olivier Rousteing. Rounding out the ensemble was a jeweled headpiece and a cascading feathered cape.

Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki wore a stunning white gown, featuring a high slit and black sash for the 2026 Met.

Not every couple gets to experience the Met Gala as a date night, but Ben Stiller and wife Christine Taylor were one of the lucky few.

However, the Focker-in-Law actor did make a joke about missing an important Knicks game for the Met…

Another couple out on a date night was Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr and husband Evan Spiegel.

Making her first Met Gala appearance in 11 years was Cher. The 2026 custom Burberry look was a nod to her 1974 dress, one of her most famous gowns ever.

The Devil Wears Prada co-stars and sibling in-laws Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci walked the Met Gala steps as a trio with Felicity Blunt.

Drenched in flowers, Naomi Watts wore Dior for the special occasion.

Rihanna and A$AP may have arrived to the Met Gala late, but it was definitely in style.

The pair wore completely opposite aesthetics, with Rih dressed up in a sculptural metallic ensemble covered in crystals and beads. Her beau looked daper in pink Chanel.
