Gigi Hadid's 2026 Met Gala Dress Built on Her Body Two Days Before Event
Gigi Hadid arrived at the 2026 Met Gala in a custom Miu Miu gown that was literally assembled on her body two days prior. The dress combined elements from Miu Miu's spring 1998 and spring 2011 collections, featuring a sheer base with hand-placed patches, hotfix crystals, patchwork flames, and floral embroidery. Hadid and the Miu Miu design team Scotch-taped the patches onto her in a hotel room, using her body as the canvas. This marks her 11th Met Gala appearance and second consecutive year wearing Miu Miu. For beauty, she highlighted Maybelline New York's Cloudtopia Cheek Matte Mousse Blush. Hadid described the creative collaboration as reminiscent of high school art class.
