A-Listers Dance, Sabrina Carpenter Performs

Key Points:

• The Met Gala maintains a strict no-phone policy inside The Metropolitan Museum of Art, but some glimpses of the event still leak through social media, with Vogue recently allowing limited camera access.
• This year’s musical performances featured Grammy winner Sabrina Carpenter, who sang hits like “Espresso” and “Please, Please, Please,” followed by Stevie Nicks performing classics such as “Gypsy” and “Landslide.”
• Guests mingled while exploring the new “Costume Art” exhibition before taking their carefully curated seats around the Met’s Temple of Dendur, with seating arrangements designed to foster connections and ensure good views.
• The event’s decor and dinner, inspired by Northern Italian gardens, included a three-course meal with dishes like burrata appetizer, rack of lamb, Parmesan gnocchi, and multiple desserts, prepared by Olivier Cheng Catering and Events.
• The 2026 Met Gala dress code was “Fashion Is Art,” complementing this year’s exhibition theme highlighting the relationship between clothing and the body; co-chairs included Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, Anna Wintour, with honorary chairs Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos.
