Bold Hues Dominate 2026 Met Gala Red Carpet
The 2026 Met Gala showcased a vibrant array of colors, with Yves Klein blue taking center stage. Hailey Bieber dazzled in a gold Saint Laurent bustier paired with an ultramarine column skirt, while Tessa Thompson sported a Valentino dress complemented by ultramarine-tinted nails. The most colorful ensemble came from Alessandro Michele's Valentino collection: Lena Dunham wore a red beaded and feathered gown inspired by Artemisia Gentileschi's Judith Slaying Holofernes, Tyla opted for teal, and Colman Domingo appeared in a multicolored harlequin outfit. Kim Kardashian made a statement in a tangerine breastplate by Allen Jones and Whitaker Malem, alongside Sarah Pidgeon and Alexa Chung in chartreuse satins, and Nicole Kidman in Chanel. The event took place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, featuring over 20 celebrity looks captured by Getty Images.
