"The exhibition and benefit are made possible by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, said a Met press release in February. We tried, but the museum won't say how much the Amazon founder and his wife, as lead sponsors and honorary chairs, are contributing."
"As always, the dress code is inspired by the spring exhibit at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 'Costume Art' will pair some 200 art objects with 200 garments to highlight the connection between fashion and art through the centuries."
The Met Gala 2026 will take place on May 4, featuring the theme 'Costume Art', which connects fashion and art through 200 garments and art objects. The event serves as a fundraiser for the Costume Institute, raising over $31 million last year. Beyoncé will co-chair the gala alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos are lead sponsors, facing protest from an activist group against their participation. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani will not attend due to his affordability platform.
