The Met Gala has unveiled its latest line-up of co-chairs, featuring global icons like Beyonce, Venus Williams, Nicole Kidman, and Vogue's Anna Wintour. This prestigious event is set for next May and aims to support the Costume Institute with an impressive USD 31 million raised last year.

This year's gala coincides with the 'Costume Art' exhibit, which delves into the fascinating relationship between fashion and art. The exhibit is set to open in May 2026, showcasing different body types throughout history within a newly inaugurated gallery at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The thematic display will juxtapose garments with classical artworks, celebrating the 'dressed body' in culture. The gallery aims to highlight fashion's pivotal role in both art history and contemporary culture, offering a unique experience for visitors.
