Chase Sui Wonders Debuts at Met Gala 2026 in Sheer McQueen Gown
Actress Chase Sui Wonders attended her first Met Gala on Monday, wearing a lilac McQueen gown inspired by ancient Roman murals from a trip to Pompeii. The sheer skirt required a bodysuit underneath, and the look was accessorized with Tiffany jewels. She arrived at 5:30 p.m., navigated the Egyptian wing, and missed the burrata due to the long walk to her table. Highlights included Emily Blunt freeing her from a hedge, a bathroom encounter with Tessa Thompson removing synthetic nails, dancing to Stevie Nicks with A$AP Rocky (who stepped on her train), and a radish landing on Janelle Monáe's CD-ROM nipple-cover. Vogue editors Chloe Nnadi and Chioma Malle also reported: Nnadi sat beside Margiela creative director Glenn Martens, who received Rihanna fitting updates; Malle wore a persimmon gown by Colleen Allen inspired by Frederic Leighton's Flaming June.
