NEW YORK (FN)<\/strong>, The 2026 Met Gala turned into a spectacle of art and fashion as celebrities embraced this year\u2019s theme, Costume Art<\/em>, delivering some of the most talked\u2011about looks in recent memory. Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s dramatic skeleton\u2011inspired gown, Rihanna\u2019s jewel\u2011encrusted Maison Margiela creation, and Kylie Jenner\u2019s daring corset ensemble dominated conversations both inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art and across social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s return to the Gala after a decade was one of the night\u2019s defining moments. She arrived with Jay\u2011Z and daughter Blue Ivy, wearing Olivier Rousteing\u2019s skeleton\u2011embellished gown with a sweeping feathered cape. Rihanna, fashionably late as ever, stunned in a jewel\u2011encrusted gown while A$AP Rocky complemented her in a pastel pink Chanel coat. Anna Wintour, attending her first Gala since stepping down as Vogue\u2019s editor\u2011in\u2011chief, wore custom Chanel with feather\u2011like textures and a dramatic cape. Nicole Kidman appeared in a deep\u2011red Chanel gown with sculptural beading, accompanied by her daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kylie Jenner drew attention with a voluminous ivory skirt and structured corset featuring faux nipple detailing, while Kim Kardashian wore a copper\u2011toned breastplate with a liquid\u2011metal finish, channeling Princess Diana\u2019s \u201crevenge dress\u201d energy.
