Every year, fashion’s biggest night delivers spectacle, but this year’s Met Gala feels especially intentional. This year’s exhibition is titled “Costume Art,” and it anchors everything about tonight. The dress code, “Fashion Is Art” setting the tone, the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art transformed into a living gallery where couture was curated, studied, and performed.

Leading the charge were co-chairs Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour, each embodying the theme with a sense of authority that set the bar for the night. This year’s red carpet blurred the lines between fashion and fine art in the most compelling way, and without further ado, here’s what our favourites wore to the Met Gala this year.
