All eyes will be on Beyoncé at next year’s Met Gala, and not just for her fashion. The superstar has been named one of the event’s official co-chairs, joining Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Vogue’s Anna Wintour in overseeing the iconic celebration.

This year’s theme, “Costume Art,” promises creativity, drama, and boundary-pushing interpretations from designers and celebrities. The event will take place on May 4 and marks Beyoncé’s first Met Gala appearance since 2016, making her return one of the most anticipated moments of fashion’s biggest night.

The host committee includes Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Misty Copeland, Lena Dunham, Sam Smith, and A’ja Wilson. With such a wide blend of performers, artists, and athletes, the event is expected to highlight the merging of fashion, culture, and performance in bold new ways.

Fans are already predicting Beyoncé’s look, knowing she rarely disappoints at high-fashion events. Her presence as co-chair guarantees that the 2026 Met Gala will be one of the most talked about in years.
