Margot Robbie's 761-Hour Chanel Gown for 2026 Met Gala
Margot Robbie returned to the Met Gala red carpet in 2026 wearing a custom Chanel gown that required 761 hours of labor and nearly 1,100 pieces of embroidery. The strapless gold lamé dress featured a cascading train lined with flower petals, crafted by the Chanel atelier. This appearance marks Robbie's first Met Gala since 2023's "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," where she wore a chain-trimmed Chanel gown from Lagerfeld's spring 1993 couture collection. The 2026 event also serves as the Chanel debut for creative director Matthieu Blazy. Robbie's Met Gala history includes her first in 2014 for "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" in a Prada dress, and 2016's "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology" in a Calvin Klein gown. This is her fourth Met Gala overall.
