"Curator in Charge Andrew Bolton states that the exhibition seeks to connect 'artistic representations of the body with fashion as an embodied art form.'"
"The exhibition 'Costume Art' features century-spanning fashions on various body types, juxtaposed with art objects from the Met's collections."
The Met Gala 2026 commenced with celebrities and designers showcasing extravagant outfits while raising funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. Co-chaired by Beyonce, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour, with Lauren Sanchez Bezos as an honorary co-chair, the event's dress code is 'Fashion is Art.' The accompanying exhibition, 'Costume Art,' opens on May 10, featuring diverse fashions and art objects, aiming to connect fashion with artistic representations of the body.
