The first Monday in May is fashion’s biggest night… but the day the Metropolitan Museum of Art announces the Met Gala’s theme also reigns supreme in the fashion world as a major moment.
On Monday, the Met Museum and Vogue announced that ‘Costume Art’ will be the theme of the spring 2026 exhibition at the Costume Institute, which means celebrities need to start planning their lavish designer ensembles accordingly.
The New York City museum will pair historical and contemporary garments from the Costume Institute for the exhibition, which will be loosely divided into three categories, including the classical body and the nude body, aging bodies and pregnant bodies, and the anatomical body.
