"The co-chairs of the Met Gala, which is held every year on the first Monday in May in New York City, have been announced as Beyonce, Venus Williams, Nicole Kidman and, of course, Anna Wintour. Otherwise known as fashion's biggest night out or the Superbowl of fashion, it will be Beyonce's first time in attendance since 2016, when she wore Givenchy to attend a Met Gala themed Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology."
"Announced last month, the exhibition, which will be on view to the public from 10 May, aims to explore the body and fashion in art by pairing paintings, sculptures and other objects from the Met's collection with 200 historical and contemporary garments from the Costume Institute: a 16th century painting of Adam and Eve by Albrecht Dure with an ensemble by Belgian-designer Walter Van Beirendonck, say; or a photograph of a body called La Poupee with a Rei Kawakubo creation for Comme des Garcons."
"The role of the co-chairs is to oversee everything from interior design to catering to guest list, as well as hosting, possibly performing and, crucially, dressing to hit the brief. Past co-chairs have included everyone from Zendaya to Harry Styles, Rihanna to Donatella Versace and Lin-Manuel Miranda to Sarah Jessica Parker. This year's co-chairs will be presiding over a Met Gala themed around Costume Art, to tie in with the Costume Institute's spring 2026 exhibition."
Beyonce, Venus Williams, Nicole Kidman and Anna Wintour are announced as Met Gala co-chairs. The co-chairs will oversee interior design, catering, guest list, hosting, possible performances and dressing to meet the brief. Beyonce returns to the Met Gala for the first time since 2016, when she wore Givenchy to Manus x Machina. The Met Gala will be themed around Costume Art to align with the Costume Institute's spring 2026 exhibition, which opens to the public on 10 May. The exhibition pairs artworks with 200 historical and contemporary garments and organizes displays by thematic body types, including the naked, anatomical, aging and pregnant body. The exhibition will occupy the Costume Institute's new nearly 10,000ft Conde Nast Galleries.
