Wait, what day is it?
Because we could’ve sworn it was May 4, the day of the 2026 Met Gala. But then Heidi Klum showed up, having gone all out for the night’s theme, “Costume Art,” as if it were Halloween, her favorite holiday.
Let’s just say, the model took the “Fashion Is Art” dress code literally, looking unrecognizable as a living sculpture in a custom look by Mike Marino. (See all the looks on the Met Gala 2026 steps.)
According to the designer, her antique plaster-colored ensemble was inspired by classical works like the “Veiled Christ” by Giuseppe Sammartino and the “Veiled Vestal” by Raffaele Monti. Materials including latex and spandex gave the illusion of carved stone while allowing for movement.
“The result is a dress that blurs the line between sculpture and fashion,” a press release said, “rooted in traditional garment-making, but elevated through texture, technique and illusion.”
It also, incidentally, blurred the line between the first Monday in May and the last day of October.
