The best looks of the stars of “Met Gala 2026”

The Met Gala night is one of the most anticipated events on the global fashion calendar. Where the “red carpet” turns into an exceptional space that celebrates creativity without borders. As usual every year, this extravagant “event” attracted the most daring and dazzling looks, under the slogan “Fashion is Art,” which opened the way for various creative readings, presented by about 400 invited A-list stars. This slogan reflects a parallel exhibition entitled “The Art of Fashion”, held at the museum’s “Fashion Institute”, of which the concert is one of the most prominent sources of funding.

Here are the most prominent looks of the “Met Gala 2026” stars:

Nicole Kidman:

She caught the eye with a captivating look, bearing the signature of Chanel. She chose a completely glowing red dress with delicate sequin embroidery, and a “slim” design that revealed her figure with an elegant flow, before it fell with a long, luxurious train. The look was not devoid of dramatic touches. The violin was decorated with details of soft “feathers”, so Kidman mixed the classics typical of the house with the modern spirit of the event.

Emma Chamberlain:

• 

It looked like a vibrant artistic painting in an exceptional design from the house of Mugler, under the supervision of designer Miguel Castro Freitas. The look was inspired by the “house’s” archive, specifically from the famous “butterfly dress” of 1997, which came in a “mermaid” story, with hand-painted decorations in strong color gradations. While the two violins, which end with long “tassels,” add a remarkable movement with every step.

Rihanna:

• 

I presented an integrated sculptural work from Maison Margiela, inspired by “medieval architecture” in the Flanders region. The dress featured clear architecture, voluminous layers, and dramatic curves. While the metallic fabric added a detail that reflects high craftsmanship, Rihanna confirms once again her ability to break the rules of fashion and turn it into a space for free artistic expression.

  Gwendoline Christie:

• 

She shined with a design signed by her life partner, designer Giles Deacon, and inspired by the works of prominent artists, such as John Singer Sargent. Christie seemed to have turned into a complete work of art. The creativity was not limited to the theatrical dress, but rather extended to include her facial features, which were used as an aesthetic element in itself with unconventional artistic treatment.
    

    إيجاي:

• 

She evoked her Korean roots with a look specially designed for her by Swarovski. The design was inspired by the “Venus de Milo” statue, with deep cultural references to the concept of “gisaeng” (court artists during the Korean Joseon Dynasty). This blend was reflected in the dress’s sparkling details and flowing composition.
    

Hailey Bieber:

• 

She embodied absolute luxury in a look from the house of Saint Laurent. The design featured a “sculpted bra,” made of real 24-karat gold, and decorated with details that highlighted the body’s curves in a sculptural style, which added a strong visual dimension, in keeping with the glamor of the “red carpet.”
    

Madonna:

• 

She attended in her iconic style, wearing a design from Saint Laurent, which was characterized by a dramatic nature, and topped with a “long veil,” which added a mysterious aura. The look carried hints to her musical heritage and her famous song “Like a Virgin,” but with a more mature and bold vision.
    

Blake Lively:

• 

In her 11 appearances, her look was inspired by the “pastel” colors of the Venetian “Rococo” paintings. She wore an archival dress from the Spring 2006 collection of Versace, and she worked with the house to update it. By adding a 13-foot “dramatic tail,” providing a visual interpretation that combines history and imagination.
    

Katy Perry:

• 

She caught attention with a white “Stra Plus” dress, with a design that combines simplicity and dramatic structure. The dress was distinguished by a long train, which appeared to have “burned ends” in an unconventional detail, and she completed the mysterious character with a “metal face covering” and a long glove, balancing the boldness of the design with the fluidity of her presence.
