Leadership is established on fashion’s biggest night. Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour have been officially announced as co-chairs of the 2026 Met Gala, leading one of the most anticipated events on the global cultural calendar. The gala will celebrate the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring Costume Institute exhibition, “Costume Art.”
This exhibition explores fashion through the lens of craftsmanship, culture, and creative expression, examining clothing as a work of art shaped by history, technology, and imagination. As always, the Met Gala serves as both a high-profile fundraiser for the Costume Institute and a global stage for some of fashion’s most influential figures.
The 2026 gala will mark Beyoncé’s return to the Met Gala for the first time in 10 years, having last performed in 2016. Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams, long-time red carpet performers, return as familiar faces who have consistently appeared at the event. Anna Wintour, who has directed the gala for decades, continues to play a central role in shaping the institution and its signature evenings.
With the group’s co-chairs and a theme centered on fashion as art, the 2026 Met Gala will spotlight the intersection of design, culture, and creative expression.
