The dress code for the 2026 Met Gala, set to take place on May 4, following the longstanding tradition of being held on the first Monday of May, has been announced as “Fashion Is Art.”
The theme will celebrate the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring 2026 exhibit, which embraces a “Costume Art” concept.
“Prepare to see some outfits that shouldn’t see the light of day,” one user commented, while another added, “‘Fashion Is Art’ will mean wearing the weirdest thing and calling it genius.”
