High-Profile Quartet to Chair Next Met Gala: Fashion, Art, and Iconic Personalities Unite
In a star-studded lineup, music icon Beyoncé, tennis legend Venus Williams, actress Nicole Kidman, and fashion editor-in-chief Anna Wintour will co-chair the highly anticipated Met Gala next May. This coveted event promises to be an unforgettable spectacle, bringing together the worlds of art, fashion, and entertainment.
Williams, who has never hosted before, takes on this prestigious role seven years after her younger sister and fellow tennis champion Serena was co-chair in 2022. Beyoncé's involvement as honorary chair in 2013 is a testament to her enduring influence on popular culture. Kidman, meanwhile, has been part of the Met Gala scene since 2003 and 2005, cementing her status as a fashion icon.
The event will be overseen by Vogue editor Chloe Malle, who will work closely with Wintour to create an unforgettable night of glamour and sophistication. This year's theme, "Costume Art," will celebrate the intersection of fashion and art throughout history, pairing garments with objects from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's vast collection.
The exhibit aims to showcase how fashion has long been intertwined with different art forms, including paintings, sculpture, and drawings. The show will be organized thematically by body type, exploring concepts such as the "Naked Body," the "Classical Body," the "Pregnant Body," and the "Aging Body." This innovative approach will provide a fresh perspective on fashion's relationship with art.
The new exhibit will debut in a 12,000-square-foot gallery space, marking a significant expansion of the Costume Institute. The Conde M. Nast galleries, created from the former retail store, will now house all spring exhibitions and other shows from different parts of the museum.
The Met Gala's host committee includes an impressive array of celebrities, musicians, dancers, actors, basketball players, models, artists, and filmmakers. The list reads like a who's who of creative talent, with names such as Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, LISA, Sam Smith, Teyana Taylor, Elizabeth Debicki, Gwendoline Christie, Lena Dunham, Misty Copeland, A'ja Wilson, Alex Consani, Paloma Elsesser, Lauren Wasser, Zoë Kravitz, and Anthony Vaccarello.
With its blend of fashion, art, and entertainment, the Met Gala promises to be a spectacular event that will leave audiences spellbound. The theme "Costume Art" is set to debut on May 10, 2026, and run until January 10, 2027, marking a pivotal moment for the Costume Institute.
