The Met Gala 2026 Theme, Exhibit, and More Details About Fashion's Biggest Night

Wintour coordinates arrival times with the celebrities who go, allowing cameras and press to operate on schedule. Stars will pose, wave, and show off every angle of their fabulous look, then climb the many stairs to make their way into the exhibit. When someone's dress is particularly voluminous, they are likely accompanied by a wrangler, who helps them navigate to the top of the stairs in an efficient yet elegant manner. Oh, and major stars like Rihanna and Beyonce are always the last to arrive.
