Il Met Gala 2026 ha confermato ancora una volta il suo ruolo di evento più influente della moda globale, trasformando il red carpet del Metropolitan Museum of Art in una vera galleria d’arte vivente. Con il tema “Costume Art” e il dress code “Fashion Is Art”, la serata ha spinto celebrità e stilisti a superare i confini tradizionali dello stile, dando vita a look pensati come opere artistiche.
Ma come sempre, la domanda centrale resta: chi veste chi? Le collaborazioni tra star e maison sono state il vero cuore dell’evento. Dietro ogni abito iconico si nasconde infatti una collaborazione strategica tra star e maison, capace di influenzare tendenze globali e consolidare il potere narrativo della moda. Tra debutti sorprendenti, ritorni attesi e accoppiate già destinate a diventare leggenda, il Met Gala 2026 si conferma come il luogo in cui stile e spettacolo si fondono in modo unico.
Laufey e Camila Morrone hanno indossato creazioni su misura Tory Burch al Met Gala 2026. L’evento ha celebrato la nuova mostra del Costume Institute, “Costume Art”, che mette in dialogo capi d’abbigliamento e opere d’arte provenienti dalle collezioni del Metropolitan Museum of Art, rivelando la relazione intrinseca tra abito e corpo. Tory Burch ha indossato un abito vintage in velluto nero e satin blush dalla collezione Autunno/Inverno 1987 di Thierry Mugler, con profonda scollatura sulla schiena e rose in seta firmate Maison Lemarié.
