Overview
- Olivia Wilde walked the Met Gala red carpet on Monday in New York in an off-the-shoulder black Thom Browne gown with a leather cage bustle that released a white tulle train.
- Styled by Karla Welch, she wore her hair in loose beach waves and skipped jewelry for a stark, art-first presentation.
- The look aligned with the 2026 theme “Costume Art” and the dress code “Fashion Is Art,” which frame clothing as works in dialogue with The Met’s collection.
- Earlier Monday, she joked on Instagram that she was practicing not sitting or needing a restroom, hinting at the gown’s rigid structure.
- The outing marked her first Met Gala since 2023 and followed her weekend Instagram video calling a recent film‑festival photo “startling.”
