What Is the Met Gala 2026 Theme?

The theme for Met Gala 2026 revolves around “Fashion is Art”.

As per a report in Vogue, Andrew Bolton, the curator in charge of the Costume Institute, said, “What connects every curatorial department and what connects every single gallery in the museum is fashion, or the dressed body. It’s the common thread throughout the whole museum, which is really what the initial idea for the exhibition was.”
