The Tamesis
The first Monday in May has finally arrived, which means the 2026 Met Gala is about to kick off at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Designers and attendees prepare for the red carpet for months, creating the best looks that perfectly adhere to the dress code “Fashion is Art.”
From Emma Chamberlain’s hand-painted custom Mugler gown to Devyn Garcia’s trompe l’oeil Michael Kors gown, it’s no surprise that many stars paid homage to the art world and the body.
But it turns out it’s more than just fashion—glam is also eye-catching, with colors on the carpet ranging from romantic long hair to bold, saturated colors like International Klein Blue that will make tonight’s guests look like they’ve jumped off the canvas inside.
While the night’s big trends certainly stood out, there were plenty of artistic details to admire, including Ashley Graham’s metallic manicure and Angela Bassett’s shocking pink eyeshadow and blush. Here, we break down all the best beauty details worth checking out.
