Madonna Channels Leonora Carrington in Sheer Cape at 2026 Met Gala
Madonna attended the 2026 Met Gala in a floor-sweeping Saint Laurent slip dress of satin and lace, topped with a translucent violet organza cape carried by seven attendants. The look referenced Surrealist painter Leonora Carrington, an inspiration for her 'Bedtime Story' music video. She wore leather platform boots, a long black wig, and a hat with a ghost ship. Makeup by Marcelo Gutierrez used KIKO Milano products, focusing on layered mauve-lilac eyeshadow. Hair stylist Merria Dearman created a long, natural brown wig inspired by an obscure feminist artist. Madonna's new album is due July 3.
