Met Gala 2026 opens, theme 'Costume Art'; Beyoncé returns to the carpet

My extremely not-requested opinion on the Met Gala's non-theme theme is that we can't have interesting fashion under fascism because anything genuinely inspirational the organizers chose would be challenged as "DEI" or "trans" content. So we get blandy bland bland bland.

I'm at the Met Gala, but they lied to me and said the theme this year was Livestock. I came in a pig costume and now everyone's laughing and oinking at me. Venus Williams punched me in the stomach then said she's going to honey bake me and carve me up

I just want all celebrities to know that if you don't look like a soulsborne boss, you failed The Met Gala This applies in perpetuity regardless of theme

A lot of people are skipping the Met gala, not because of sports but because of Bezos.

I decided to do Cass and Eli’s take on the 2026 Met Gala theme.

It’s the first Monday in May, so that means it’s time for the Met Gala and my annual thread explaining the theme for the uninitiated. This year’s exhibition theme is “Costume Art," and the dress code for attendees is “Fashion is Art.” #MetGala #MetGala2026

The fact that no one went to the Met Gala tonight as Guernica shows that they’re all cowards

Can we all take a moment and appreciate what a perfect distillation of America this 22 second video clip is? A labor activist is being tackled & assaulted, the event recorded on one or two cell phones 10m away, >$1,000,000 of cameras are pointed at celebrities in glittery met gala outfits.

We can't afford medical care and food and gas and education. Let them eat cake? What is this? Christmas? In lighter news, the Met Gala. Each wacky, gonna-wear-this-once look is many, many times the annual salary of, percentage-wise, everyone in the United States. Push your nose into it. Mmmmmmmmmm.

Mamdani skipped the Bezos-sponsored Met Gala and instead released a portfolio spotlighting fashion workers, including two former Amazon employees backing a bill to require direct employment of workers instead of subcontractors. He's the best. i-d.co/article/mayo...

There shoulda been more of this at the Met Gala

Very few of the Met Gala guests stuck to the theme of “hamburger.” You can’t just throw some diamonds on a brown dress and say it’s a sesame seed bun
