Thanks to the high-profile lineup of co-chairs that was revealed today, the Met Gala is already beginning to seem like one of the most anticipated events in recent years.

Beyoncé, actress Nicole Kidman, and tennis icon Venus Williams will lead fashion’s biggest night alongside longstanding mainstay Anna Wintour. Beyoncé will return to the event in 2026 after a ten-year absence. In 2016, she made headlines with an eye-catching Givenchy Haute Couture ensemble.

The event will commemorate the opening of the “Costume Art” spring exhibition at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibition, which is curated by Andrew Bolton, will examine the relationship between fashion and the human body through themes like the aging body, the pregnant body, and the nude body.

As co-chairs, Beyoncé, Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour will be crucial in determining the evening’s tone and style as well as the interior design and guest list. In addition to setting the stage for an amazing evening that promises to be more than just a red carpet event but also a statement on style, identity, and the body as living art, their appointment sends a strong message about the intersections of fashion, fame, and art.
