Cara Delevingne's Naked Dress at 2026 Met Gala

exhibition · 2026-05-04

At the 2026 Met Gala, Cara Delevingne wore a Ralph Lauren halter neck dress with a fully sheer back, embroidered with a peacock. The look references Rooney Mara's 2011 Vogue cover in Ralph Lauren. Delevingne co-hosted the livestream with Ashley Graham and La La Anthony. The Costume Institute's exhibition focuses on the body in fashion and art, aligning with the 'peek-a-butt' trend seen at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. Delevingne first attended the Met Gala in 2011 and is known for thematic looks like her 2019 Dior for 'Camp: Notes on Fashion' and her 2022 Dior pseudo-pantsuit with gold-painted torso.
