Leading the charge is a powerful trio of co-chairs, with Beyonce, Kidman and Williams joining forces with Vogue’s global editorial director Wintour to helm fashion’s biggest night.
Tennis star Williams is co-chairing the gala for the first time. Kidman previously co-chaired the star-studded event in 2003 and 2005, and Beyonce was honorary chairwoman in 2013.
The New York City museum will pair historical and contemporary clothing from the Costume Institute for the exhibition, which will be divided into three categories: the classical and naked body, aging and pregnant bodies, and the anatomical body.
“The title ‘The Art of Costume’ refers to the history of the costume institute,” Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton said at a press conference.
Choosing the theme, Bolton said that fashion ‘has the status of art not despite its relationship with the body, but because of it’.
French luxury fashion house Yves Saint Laurent also sponsors the exhibition.

The Art of Costume will run from May 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027, following the Met Gala on May 4.
