The annual fundraising event benefits the museum’s costume institute in Manhattan, drawing the brightest stars from film, television, and music.
Each year’s gala celebrates the theme of the costume institute’s exhibition, which also sets the evening’s dress code for guests.
This year’s theme is ‘costume art,’ with the accompanying dress code: fashion is art’.
Co-chairing the 2026 event are music icon Beyoncé, Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, and tennis legend Venus Williams.
The star-studded guest list featured an eclectic mix of Hollywood, music, and sports royalty.
Attendees included Anne Hathaway, Emma Chamberlain, Jaffar Jackson, Katy Perry, Teyana Taylor, Kendall Jenner, Heidi Klum, Janelle Monae, Doechii, and Tiakola.
Actor Damson Idris, Hailey Bieber, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, and Kylie Jenner rounded out the high-profile arrivals.
