Hailey Bieber has been the belle of the Met Gala ball for over a decade, at least according to my personal best-dressed lists. Myself and fellow Beliebers knew she'd reclaim her metaphorical crown at the 2026 Met Gala, but still, her Saint Laurent red carpet look proved she's in no way predictable.
Once Saint Laurent was named the Gala's main fashion sponsor last November, my gut told me Bieber would reunite with creative director Anthony Vaccarello for their fourth Met together. I gave myself a pat on the back minutes ago, when she graced the 2026 Met Gala staircase in custom Saint Laurent. Stylist Andrew Mukamal—the same creative behind her gowns at the 2026 Grammys and TIME100 Gala—dressed Bieber in cobalt-blue chiffon, which bookended a metallic gold breastplate.
