“Without two there is no three” – Lena Mahfouf revealed her attendance at the 2026 Met Gala via Instagram Stories an hour before walking the red carpet. The French social media star and YouTube personality previously walked the Met Gala red carpet in 2022 and 2024, making her one of the few French people to attend the event; on both occasions, Mahfouf’s looks caused a stir.

Mahfouf interpreted this year’s dress code “Fashion as Art” with a bold creation from Burc Akyol, which featured a cutout draped skirt and silver hands on the bodice, molded to her body, leaving plenty to the imagination. She kept her makeup to a minimum, using light blue eyeshadow for an ethereal glow that matched the hue of her dress, and accessorized with some discreet jewelry.
This isn’t the first time Mahafov has turned heads with his sculptural look on the Met Gala red carpet. In 2024, she wore a Schiaparelli design by Daniel Roseberry with maximalist 3D flowers on the bodice, another fashion triumph for the French star.
