It\u2019s the first Monday in May, and you know what that means: It\u2019s officially time for the 2026 Met Gala<\/a>. Celebrities<\/a> across film, TV, music, sports, and beyond have decamped from their homes in the Hollywood Hills for a temporary stay at the Mark Hotel. Per the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this year\u2019s theme is \u201cCostume Art,\u201d coupled with a Costume Institute<\/a> exhibition featuring 400 objects that connect the worlds of fashion and fine art. Appropriately the Met Gala offered up\u00a0\u201cFashion Is Art\u201d as a dress code, leaving the rest of the details for invitees and their team of high-end stylists to flesh out.<\/p>\n Naturally, Vogue likes to hold the VIP guest list hostage until the moment attendees start marching up the steps to the Met. But we \u2014 and the dedicated paparazzo of Manhattan \u2014 did our best sleuthing over the weekend to keep you abreast of the impending cameos. From host-committee members Sabrina Carpenter and Doja Cat to gala regulars<\/a> Kim Kardashian and Serena Williams, here\u2019s who\u2019s been spotted flitting around the city, seemingly getting ready for fashion\u2019s biggest night.<\/p>\n Serena Williams heads to Anna Wintour\u2019s pre-Met Gala dinner in NY. pic.twitter.com\/wWSVNIY9nj<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Bad Bunny in New York. pic.twitter.com\/WCJw9nra0f<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Rihanna spotted in New York ahead of the Met Gala. pic.twitter.com\/S4pmTIFpbP<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 FentyStats (@FentyStats) May 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Olivia Rodrigo in New York. pic.twitter.com\/rxoxY2nIfA<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Sabrina Carpenter was seen arriving to attend Anna Wintour\u2019s pre-Met Gala dinner. pic.twitter.com\/xKqa1nkOef<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet and Kylie Jenner in New York City. pic.twitter.com\/X2EyFBycD7<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Naomi Osaka is seen arriving at The Mark Hotel in New York City for the Met Gala. pic.twitter.com\/j412MmF8fX<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Venus Williams heads to Anna Wintour\u2019s pre-Met Gala dinner in New York. pic.twitter.com\/iN32mTwNJn<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Gabrielle Union-Wade and Dwyane Wade in New York City. pic.twitter.com\/UI4kqPJIqc<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n JENNIE in New York City. pic.twitter.com\/wPV8E6jllh<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Hudson Williams in New York. pic.twitter.com\/Dg8WdoTM6b<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Connor Storrie in New York City. pic.twitter.com\/fpdVhqJn2F<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Kim Kardashian in New York City. pic.twitter.com\/Ltqbt1tsnI<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Kendall Jenner in New York. pic.twitter.com\/oNIMArFADG<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 21 (@21metgala) May 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Charli XCX arrived her hotel for Met Gala pic.twitter.com\/3rOpTEXDc7<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Met Gala 2026 (@2026MetGala) May 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8MEU DEUS!!
