The 2026 Met Gala Livestream

Watch Ashley Graham, La La Anthony, and Cara Delevingne talk viewers through all the fun and fashion at the 2026 Met Gala

On Monday, November 17, 2025, the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced the Costume Institute’s spring 2026 exhibition, “Costume Art.” The show—inaugurating the Met’s new, nearly 12,000-square-foot Condé M. Nast Galleries—considers depictions of the dressed body from across the Met’s curatorial departments, pairing garments with art objects spanning some 5,000 years.

Objects in “Costume Art” are divided into a “series of thematic body types,” ranging from the “Naked Body” and the “Classical Body”—both of which are well represented within the museum’s collection—to those, like the “Pregnant Body” and the “Aging Body,” that have more often been overlooked.

Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour co-chaired the 2026 Met Gala.
