The Met Gala is just around the corner and, as per tradition, is set to catalyze global attention, confirming itself among the most anticipated and spectacular events on the international calendar. While waiting to find out who will parade on the iconic red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the night of Monday, May 4, 2026, New York City has already gotten into the thick of the celebrations with a series of exclusive events ahead of the benefit in support of the Costume Institute.
Among them, the pre-Met party hosted by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez was particularly talked about: an event that combined socialite and high visibility, reflecting the couple’s central role among the event’s main supporters. The party, abetted by an exceptional guest list, turned the spotlight on the city as early as Saturday night.
Among the personalities spotted were prominent names from the international star system: Kris and Kendall Jenner, actresses Nicole Kidman and Laura Harrier, Georgina Rodriguez, supermodels Vittoria Ceretti and Loli Bahia, along with Brooks Nader, stylist Law Roach and singer Sam Smith.
“Fashion is art”: this is the theme chosen for the 2026 edition of the Met Gala, a concept that investigates the deep and ongoing dialogue between fashion and art, exploring their mutual influences through the centuries. As usual, the theme finds a natural extension in the museum’s spring exhibition, which will open to the public on May 10, 2026, offering a curatorial key that promises to once again transform the red carpet into a true aesthetic performance.
