other · 2026-05-05

At the 2026 Met Gala, Katy Perry wore a custom Stella McCartney gown paired with tarot cards and a Miodrag Guberinic headpiece resembling a fencing helmet, aligning with the 'Costume Art' theme. Perry's past Met Gala looks include a Jeremy Scott-designed crystal chandelier ensemble for the 2019 'Camp: Notes on Fashion' theme and a giant cheeseburger outfit. Tarot and fencing have historical art connections, with artists like Leonora Carrington and Irving Penn depicting tarot, and Émile-Antoine Bayard painting female sword fighters in his 1884 work The Duel.
