Cher Revives 1974 Naked Dress at 2026 Met Gala in Custom Burberry
Cher made her first Met Gala appearance in over a decade at the 2026 event, wearing a custom Burberry look by Daniel Lee. The black silk-tulle twisted dress with a leather corset and cropped crystal-embellished jacket was created with stylist Patti Wilson. The design referenced Cher's iconic 1974 Met Gala dress by Bob Mackie, a famous naked dress. The 2026 Met Gala coincides with the Met's spring exhibition 'Costume Art,' exploring fashion and the human body. Cher first attended the Met Gala in 1986 with Mackie, attended in 2015 with Marc Jacobs, and performed at the 2019 'Camp' themed gala.
