The red carpet at the Met Gala 2026 came alive in spectacular fashion as celebrities made bold, unforgettable entrances, fully embracing the night’s artistic theme.
Leading the early wave of arrivals, Beyoncé and Jay-Z turned heads as they stepped out alongside their daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, making it a rare and stunning family appearance that instantly became one of the night’s standout moments.
Elsewhere on the carpet, Sabrina Carpenter embraced classic Hollywood glamour in an all-black ensemble, while Gigi Hadid commanded attention in a sheer dark gray gown that shimmered under the lights, revealing a daring open-back design. Amanda Seyfried opted for elegance in a blush pink floor-length gown, accessorized with a striking necklace, while Connor Storrie made a memorable debut in a bold black look featuring a polka-dotted halter top with a dramatic train.
Never one to play it safe, Madonna arrived in theatrical style, donning a pirate-inspired hat and carrying a brass trumpet, flanked by models in sheer blindfolds that added an avant-garde edge to her look.
Earlier arrivals also made a strong impression. Cara Delevingne stunned in a sleek black gown with a flowing sheer train, while Bill Skarsgård brought his signature edge in a tailored suit paired with a double-breasted trench coat. Lauren Sánchez Bezos dazzled in a strapless navy gown adorned with jeweled shoulder details.
Inside fashion’s biggest night, the dress code “Fashion Is Art” aligned with the theme celebrating the Costume Art exhibition, inspiring guests to push creative boundaries. Co-chair Venus Williams sparkled in a black gown accented with a bold silver neckpiece, while Nicole Kidman delivered drama in a fiery red Chanel creation with feathered detailing. Anna Wintour kept things timeless in teal with a feathered shawl, as Ashley Graham and La La Anthony added extra glamour with sheer fabrics and intricate embellishments.
