A massive gathering of Hollywood, music, and sports icons descended on New York on Monday for the 2026 Met Gala.

Celebrities including Beyoncé, Madonna, and Nicole Kidman attended the annual event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, according to France 24.

This year's gala centered on the theme "Fashion is art." The dress code was directly inspired by the spring exhibit currently hosted by the Costume Institute.

A night of high fashion

The event served as the premier night for the global fashion industry, bringing together stars from across the worlds of entertainment and athletics.

France 24 reported that the attendees interpreted the art-focused theme through eccentric and high-concept attire.

While the gala remains a focal point for style, the event also faced external pressure. Recent reports from France 24 noted an anti-Bezos campaign that urged a boycott of the Met Gala in New York.
