Met Gala 2026: Beyoncé, Bad Bunny and Janelle Monáe take artistic liberties with dress code

Met Gala guests from Beyoncé and Naomi Osaka to Emma Chamberlain did not play it safe this year, delivering custom works of art in honor of the dress code “Fashion is art.”

Beyoncé left the cowboy hat at home and dazzled in a custom Olivier Rousteing sculptural skeleton dress with a cream and dust blue feathered train fitted with a diamond crown for “Queen Bey.” The Grammy winner and her husband Jay-Z and daughter Blue Ivy stopped to pose together on the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps.
