Photos from inside the Costume Institute’s latest exhibit have been revealed ahead of tonight’s 2026 Met Gala!
A press conference for the Met Gala, celebrating “Costume Art,” happened on Monday morning (May 4) in New York City.
Guests got to look inside the museum at what the celebrities will be seeing tonight.
When is the exhibit open to the public?
The public will be able to view the exhibit soon, as it’s running from May 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027.
Here’s an explainer on the Met Gala exhibit:
From Vogue: “‘Costume Art,’ curated by Andrew Bolton, will explore the relationship between clothing and the body beneath. The show—organized into a series of thematic body types, ranging from the Naked Body to the Pregnant Body and the Aging Body—will include garments and artworks from across The Met’s vast collection, and feature both historical and contemporary pieces from the Costume Institute. Moreover, ‘Costume Art’ will be the first show held in The Met’s new Condé M. Nast Galleries, a nearly 12,000-square-foot space adjacent to the Great Hall.”
Be sure to see which celebrities are acting as co-chairs this evening.
