Beyoncé and Nicole Kidman bring daughters to Met Gala 2026

festival-fair · 2026-05-05

The 2026 Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, saw Beyoncé and Nicole Kidman bring their daughters for the first time. Beyoncé attended with husband Jay-Z and daughter Blue Ivy, 14, calling the experience surreal. Kidman brought her 17-year-old daughter Sunday Rose. The dress code was 'Fashion is Art,' prompting Heidi Klum to dress as a stone statue. Bad Bunny appeared as an older man, Janelle Monaé wore a dress of moss and cables, and Katy Perry donned a robot mask. The gala raised funds for the Costume Institute, now named after Anna Wintour, who hosted for the 29th time, noting it is her 'most terrifying time.' Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos co-sponsored the event, drawing criticism over wealth inequality. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani declined to attend, and small protests occurred.
