Stars gathered Monday for the 2026 Met Gala, interpreting the dress code 'Fashion is art,' inspired by the spring exhibit at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibit, 'Costume Art,' pairs some 200 art objects with 200 garments to highlight the connection between fashion and art through the centuries.
This photo gallery, curated by AP photo editors, showcases celebrities embracing art-inspired fashion on the red carpet. From intricate designs to bold statements, the looks reflect the theme's emphasis on the intersection of haute couture and fine art.
Notable attendees included actors, musicians, and fashion icons, each bringing their own interpretation of the dress code. The event, often dubbed 'fashion's biggest night,' continues to push boundaries and celebrate creativity.
The Met Gala serves as a fundraiser for the Costume Institute, with this year's exhibit running through the summer. The fusion of art and fashion promises to inspire both designers and art enthusiasts alike.
