Met Gala 2026 best dressed! Kim Kardashian and Beyonce reign supreme on the red carpet for fashion’s biggest night
It is billed as the Oscars of the fashion world – and some attendees certainly looked the part.
Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Nicole Kidman and Hailey Bieber led the red carpet glamour at the 2026 Met Gala on Monday.
Kardashian, 45, asserted her status as a Met Gala veteran, marking 13 years of attendance at the star-studded event, delivering yet another headline-grabbing look.
The reality TV star showcased her famous curves in a futuristic liquid-gold nude body dress – a collaboration between British pop artist Allen Jones and design duo Whitaker Malem.
The provocative ensemble served as a tribute to Jones’ 1975 poster for the x-rated flick Maitresse, about a leather-clad dominatrix.
Beyonce, 44, reigned supreme on the red carpet as she made a triumphant return to the Met steps, ending her decade-long hiatus. The Crazy In Love hitmaker, who was one of the co-chairs this year, wore a sensational sequin skeleton dress by Olivier Rousteing.
She was joined by husband Jay-Z, 56, and daughter Blue Ivy, 14, who made her debut at the event in a Balenciaga dress.
The theme of this year’s event – widely considered the Super Bowl of celebrity red carpets – was Costume Art, while the dress code was Fashion is Art.
