The 2026 Met Gala Celebrating “Costume Art” – Arrivals
Fashion’s biggest night has arrived, and several athletes have foregone their pregame getups for elaborate suits and gowns fit for one of the most stylish nights of the year.
The theme of the 2026 Met Gala is “Costume Art,” paired with the dress code of “Fashion is Art.” As always, the theme was up to interpretation, and this year’s carpet showcased creativity in all of its forms.
Tennis legend Venus Williams is co-chair for the event alongside Beyoncé and Nicole Kidman. Venus’ sister Serena Williams was among the throng of athletes in attendance, which consisted of icons across a wide variety of sports.
