The 2026 Met Gala is officially underway, and the glitterati of Hollywood and beyond are descending on the most glamorous red carpet of them all as we speak. This year's theme is "Costume Art," which is the same name of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's spring exhibition. The dress code is "Fashion Is Art," which means we're going to be seeing plenty of sartorial splendor on those hallowed museum steps this evening. However, beauty fans know that there is no complete look without a drop-dead-gorgeous hair and makeup look, or a set of perfectly-manicured nails. That's why I'll be reporting every celebrity and her (or his) glam choices live as arrivals hit the carpet.
Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams will serve as co-chairs for this year's Met Gala, alongside lead chairperson and Vogue's global editorial director Anna Wintour. With veteran attendees across the style spectrum, from Sabrina Carpenter to Teyana Taylor to the Kardashian-Jenner clan—and perhaps a few notable no-shows (Taylor Swift and Zendaya, please surprise us with an appearance) I'll be here to keep you updated in real time with every delicious beauty look from the 2026 red carpet. And don't forget to check out our live fashion blog tonight for all the best outfits from this year's Met Gala.
