The 2026 Met Gala red carpet is rarely free from theatrical drama, but pop icon Sabrina Carpenter found herself at the centre of an unexpected internet storm following the event. Carpenter stunned the red carpet in a custom-made Christian Dior gown crafted entirely from film strips from the 1954 Sabrina starring Audrey Hepburn.
The cinematic tribute, which celebrates the museum's 'Costume Art' exhibition under the dress code 'Fashion is Art', has quickly gone viral. However, the praise was swiftly met with online outrage, as frantic social media users accused Carpenter and Dior of destroying the 'last original copy' of Audrey Hepburn's classic 1954 film.
