Reporting from New York<\/p>\n

The first Monday in May has arrived and that means the world\u2019s biggest stars will be gracing the red carpet of the annual Met Gala. <\/p>\n

Beyonc\u00e9, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams will be co-chairing the event, a yearly fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute in New York. And, as has been tradition for 30 years, they will be joining co-chair Anna Wintour, Vogue\u2019s former editor-in-chief and de facto \u201cmother of the Met Gala\u201d. <\/p>\n

The theme this year is \u201cCostume Art\u201d, alongside a dress code of \u201cFashion is Art\u201d to coincide with the Costume Institute\u2019s 2026 spring exhibition Costume Art, which opens on 10 May. The exhibition will be the first in the Met\u2019s brand-new, nearly 12,000-square-foot galleries adjacent to the Great Hall, the Conde M. Nast Galleries. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to predict what we\u2019ll see tonight with such a vague and expansive theme. While every year\u2019s theme leaves plenty of room for creativity and artistic interpretation, past years have still been a tad more specific, like 2025\u2019s menswear-focused theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style\u201d and 2024\u2019s \u201cSleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion\u201d. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ll keep you updated here with all the weirdest, wildest, and most creative costumes of fashion\u2019s biggest night of the year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All set for fashion’s biggest nightpublished at 21:04 BST 21:04 BST Grace Eliza GoodwinReporting from New York The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":411852,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-411851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=411851"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411851\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/411852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=411851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=411851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=411851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
