Met Gala 2026: Theme Revealed & Co-Chairs
The first Monday in May is approaching, and the Met Gala 2026 details are finally here. The Costume Institute has unveiled its spring exhibition theme: "Future Archive: Fashion in the Age of AI." This year's gala promises to be a stunning blend of historical couture and futuristic technology.
The Theme: Future Archive
"Future Archive" explores how technology is reshaping our understanding of fashion history and preservation. Expect to see red carpet looks that integrate digital fabrics, 3D printing, and perhaps even interactive elements.
Andrew Bolton, the Wendy Yu Curator in Charge, described the exhibition as a "dialogue between the tactile and the virtual."
The Co-Chairs
Joining Anna Wintour as co-chairs for the 2026 gala are a diverse group of global icons. While the official list is kept tight, rumors suggest top tech innovators alongside Hollywood A-listers.
