Three style icons from three generations were asked to judge the fashion choices at the 2026 Met Gala, which stars attended in a high-stakes fashion event for the Costume Institute. The event's theme is "Fashion Is Art," and celebrities were tasked with interpreting this year's theme. The experts, Robert Verdi, Niki Detrich, and EJ Johnson, both of whom represent Gen X and Gen X respectively, also commented on the outfits that they felt were overblown and unnecessary. They shared their opinions on who nailed the assignment and who missed the mark.
