When she co-chairs the Met Gala in May, all eyeballs will be glued to the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see how one of the most watched women on the planet, in her eighth gala appearance, interprets the dress code: \u201cFashion is Art\u201d.<\/p>\n<div datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1xdhyk6 ec74h0k0\">The museum announced the dress code on February 23, along with some gala-related details, including new guest names. Joining the top co-chairs \u2013 <span data-qa=\"Component-Text\" class=\"css-0 ef9u0v00\">Beyonce<\/span>, Nicole Kidman, tennis champ Venus Williams and ex-Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour \u2013 is a \u201chost committee\u201d chaired by designer Anthony Vaccarello and filmmaker Zo\u00eb Kravitz.<\/div>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">They, and everyone else attending, will be figuring out what to wear come May 4. The code seems to have been chosen for maximum flexibility. And, says Andrew Bolton, curator of the Met\u2019s Costume Institute: \u201cHopefully, it will put an end to the rather obsolete \u2018is fashion art?\u2019 debate once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<figure class=\"image-inline caption ea9pn0s1 css-1vtntpq e1gf69pb0\" data-qa=\"ArticleImage-ArticleImageContainer\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-0 e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Anna Wintour is among the Met Gala 2026\u2019s top co-chairs.

As gala-watchers know, <span data-qa=\"Component-Text\" class=\"css-0 ef9u0v00\">the big party<\/span> is not only a fundraiser for the institute \u2013 a self-funding department \u2013 but a launch pad for the annual spring fashion exhibit. Curated by Bolton and his team, this year\u2019s show, \u201cCostume Art\u201d, seeks to present fashion as a through-line in the entire history of art.<\/div>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">The exhibition will be the biggest, in terms of objects, that the institute has ever done: nearly 400 in total, or 200 garments and 200 artworks from around the museum, placed in pairs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/lifestyle\/fashion-beauty\/article\/3344398\/met-gala-2026-beyonce-nicole-kidman-venus-williams-among-co-chairs?utm_source=rss_feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You certainly do not have to tell Beyonce this: fashion, when deployed properly, is nothing less than art.
