Fashion’s biggest night did not disappoint.
From Beyoncé’s crystallised skeleton making her grand return after a decade, to Rihanna and ASAP Rocky closing the carpet in Maison Margiela and Chanel — the 2026 Met Gala served look after look after look.
Tyla channelled a shiny peacock in custom Valentino. Janelle Monáe wore literal cables and moss. Kendall arrived as a goddess. Doechii came barefoot and still ate everyone.
Swipe through our full breakdown of every look, every designer, every moment.
Theme for the night was ‘Fashion Is Art,’ and they understood the assignment.
