The Met Gala 2026 fused fashion and art, with Indian celebrities showcasing distinctive styles. This year's theme, Costume Art, saw guests like Isha Ambani and Karan Johar donning elaborate ensembles rich in traditional craft techniques. Ambani dazzled in a sari-inspired creation bedecked with diamonds, while Johar's cape echoed Raja Ravi Varma's artistry.

The gala, held annually at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, hosts prominent figures, with tickets costing up to $100,000. The occasion supports the museum's Costume Institute but stirred controversy with Jeff Bezos's involvement as honorary co-chair, raising protests related to Amazon's practices.

These exhibits not only celebrated heritage and creativity but also spotlighted a convergence of culture and high fashion at one of the industry's most anticipated events.
