Celebrities arrived at the 2026 Met Gala with their take on this year’s theme – costume art – where organisers asked attendees to experiment with the lavish and whimsical dress code. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

The annual event is a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, and serves as chance for celebrities and design houses to go all-out on spectacle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The golden-voiced Broadway star Joshua Henry, took the drama up a notch by opening the carpet with a rendition of I Wanna Dance With Somebody with a band and dancers on the Met’s iconic steps, which were outfitted to look like mossy bricks in a lush garden. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    The guest list was especially starry this year, with the event’s co-chairs including singer Beyonc\u00e9, actress Nicole Kidman, tennis star Venus Williams, and global editorial director of Vogue Anna Wintour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Beyonc\u00e9 made her first Met Gala appearance in 10 years, and to make up for lost time she sported a monumental look. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    \n

    The creation, by French designer Olivier Rousteing, took on the Gala’s theme with a gown with an embellished skeleton design, and added a giant feathered cape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    The BBC caught up with Beyonce on the carpet. Asked how it felt to be back, the star said, “It feels great to be here with my daughter and husband”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n

    The star took the carpet with husband, rapper Jay-Z, and her daughter, Blue Ivy, who at 14-years-old was one of the youngest guests. The Gala typically only allows guests who are 18 or older. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
