2026 Met Gala: Stars Channel Classical Sculptures in 'Fashion Is Art'
At the 2026 Met Gala, attendees interpreted the 'Fashion Is Art' dress code by referencing classical sculptures from the 'Costume Art' exhibition's classical body division, centered on Hellenistic and Roman art. Guests favored marble-like drapery: Laura Harrier wore a wet-look Di Petsa gown, Lindsey Vonn a trompe l'oeil Thom Browne mimicking marble. Kendall Jenner and Zac Posen transformed a white T-shirt into a GapStudio take on the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Chase Infiniti, also in Thom Browne, gave Venus de Milo a colorful update. Heidi Klum went extreme with prosthetics as Raffaele Monti's Veiled Vestal. Other notable attendees included Serena Williams in Marc Jacobs, Anne Hathaway in Michael Kors, Elizabeth Debicki in Erdem, Vittoria Ceretti in Carolina Herrera, Coco Jones in Prabal Gurung, Suki Waterhouse in Michael Kors, Lux Pascal in Cult Gaia, and Kris Jenner.
