Heidi Klum's Met Gala look sparked confusion in New York on Monday night, as the 52-year-old arrived at the 2026 event encased in a full-body 'statue' costume that many online mistook for an AI-generated image of the supermodel.
This year's Met Gala theme, 'Fashion Is Art,' tied into the Metropolitan Museum of Art's forthcoming Costume Institute exhibition, 'Costume Art,' which opens on 10 May. Guests were invited to interpret the idea of the dressed body as a canvas. Klum, a reliable maximalist on any red carpet, chose not just to nod to the concept but to turn herself into what looked, at first glance, like a walking museum piece.
