other · 2026-05-07

At the 2026 Met Gala, Marc Jacobs attended with actor and writer Rachel Sennott, who stars in the brand's new campaign 'The Scene.' The campaign is a scripted micro-drama that follows Sennott's character trying to get a Met Gala invitation, blurring fiction and reality. Jacobs and Sennott wore complementary color block ensembles. The Met Gala theme was 'Costume Art.' Marc Jacobs CMO Kristin Patrick said the brand aims to build a narrative world rather than launch a product. The campaign also features Francesca Scorsese, Morgan Maher, True Whitaker, and Sandra Bernhard. Patrick emphasized that consumers engage with culture fluidly across platforms, and the brand's new platform 'Question Marc' will unfold over time. The Met Gala benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
