Met Gala 2026 Kicks Off Tonight With ‘Fashion Is Art’ Red Carpet

Vogue will stream the red carpet from 6 p.m. ET for the Costume Institute’s ‘Costume Art’ opening.

Overview

  • Vogue’s official livestream, hosted by Ashley Graham, La La Anthony and Cara Delevingne with Emma Chamberlain as red carpet correspondent, starts at 6 p.m. ET Monday.
  • The dress code ‘Fashion Is Art’ aligns with the Met’s ‘Costume Art’ exhibition, which examines the dressed body through themes such as the naked, pregnant and aging body.
  • Co-chairs are Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour, with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez serving as lead sponsors and honorary chairs.
  • Protest posters opposing the Bezos sponsorship have appeared near the museum, and the Daily Mail reports an unnamed insider claims at least one high-profile guest withdrew.
  • Inside the invite-only fundraiser, guests follow strict rules that include no phones after entry and assigned seating for dinner, with attendance typically around 450 people.
