That’s a wrap on this year’s Met Gala red carpet—and Vogue’s 2026 Met Gala best dressed list is here.
Tonight, top stars ascended the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and their theatrical looks gave fashion spectators plenty to discuss—not to mention delight in. Unsurprisingly, the best dressed (and most memorable) of the evening all centered around attendees who closely considered both the 2026 theme—“Costume Art,” exploring the centrality of the dressed body) and dress code—dubbed, appropriately, ”Fashion is Art.”
Many of the winning ensembles this year were intentional designs, exploring similar motifs that can be found within the new Costume Institute exhibition inside the Met—including plenty of garments that put major focus on silhouette, and enhancing (or concealing) the form underneath. The Met, after all, is not just a night for playing dress-up. Rather, it’s a prime opportunity for powerful storytelling, not to mention subverting expectations too.
Below, read on for Vogue’s best dressed stars at the 2026 Met Gala. Plus, be sure to vote on your very favorite look, to see who readers crowned the ultimate most-stylish of the night.
