Beyoncé to co-chair 2026 Met Gala

All eyes are on Beyoncé as she prepares to co-chair the 2026 Met Gala.

This year’s freshly announced dress code is ‘Fashion is Art,’ which pairs garments from the Costume Institute with paintings, sculptures, and artifacts spanning 5,000 years of human expression.

Full story below…

Co-chair Bey will headline alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour, promising a star-studded red carpet.

The host committee also features heavy-hitters like Doja Cat, Misty Copeland, Lena Dunham, and Teyana Taylor, with new additions including Angela Bassett and Sinéad Burke.

Noted by Vogue, Curator Andrew Bolton shared that:

“What connects every curatorial department and what connects every single gallery in the museum is fashion, or the dressed body. It’s the common thread throughout the whole museum, which is really what the initial idea for the exhibition was.”

Fans and fashion lovers alike are buzzing to see how Beyoncé and the assembled stars interpret the theme, blending couture with fine art in what promises to be a visually unforgettable night.

The 2026 Met Gala takes place on Monday, May 4.

    Beyonce is no Rihanna or Solange. She’s a stiff, Satanic robot with no voice or opinion on anything, whose fashion choices leave much to be desired. All Beyonce really can do is perform on a stage. She will bring the views, though, so I do get why they chose her. 🤷🏾‍♀️

    The wide range simplicity of this theme has the potential for some very creative looks. I hope her fellow black artists show up in droves and slaughter the gala.

    With all that’s going on in the world it’s kinda hard to care about shallow acts by celebrities.

    This sounds more Solange than Beyoncé but kudos to her I guess.
