other · 2026-05-05

Meta’s annual class photo, taken at The Mark hotel before the Met Gala, captured a lineup of celebrities including Naomi Osaka, Eva Chen, Adam Mosseri, Maluma, Alysa Liu, Lisa, Chase Infiniti, Alex Consani, and Sarah Paulson. The portrait, a high-fashion memento for Meta’s table guests, was shot in a suite transformed into a Dutch Masters-style still life with white calla lilies and cream linens. Each celebrity posed individually, and the images were stitched into a single composition. Notable fashion details included Osaka’s custom Robert Wun two-piece set with red plumes, Chen’s Proenza Schouler gown by Rachel Scott, Mosseri’s Kartik Research floral pantsuit, Maluma’s Tom Ford tuxedo, Liu’s Louis Vuitton gown, Lisa’s Robert Wun dress with 40,000 Swarovski crystals, Infiniti’s Thom Browne dress with 1.5 million sequins, Paulson’s Matières Fécales gown, and Consani’s Gucci gown. Consani, who attended her first Met Gala in 2025, returned as a host committee member, marking her as the first trans woman to co-chair the event.
