After much anticipation, Met Gala 2026 is here, which means it’s time to put on your fashion critic hat and get ready to soak in every single look from the comfort of your own space.
The first Monday in May is fashion’s biggest night, and while only a few get invited to the actual event in NYC, we can all tune in from all around the world and see what looks fashion insiders, celebrities, and beyond come up with while arriving at the iconic front steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year, invitees are asked to follow the theme of “Costume Art” and the dress code of “Fashion Is Art.” And with already-confirmed appearances from Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Alex Consani, Zoë Kravitz, and more, we know we are already in for a treat.
If you don’t want to miss a single look as soon as the red carpet starts, find out everything you need to know on how to watch the 2026 Met Gala from home below. (And remember, the party doesn’t stop after the actual gala, so stay tuned for the after-party looks!)
