The 2026 Met Gala is a charity event celebrating the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. The theme of the event was "Costume Art," which invited guests to express their own relationship to fashion as an embodied art form. This year's hair and makeup were the standout beauty looks, which will influence trends for the rest of the year. Highlights include a collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter with Redken, an ambassador for Sabrina, and a customised diamond headpiece topped off with a custom metal headpiece. Other notable beauty looks included a blue and red shimmery eye look with a sooty black winged liner and a matching set of Kiss press-on nails by Juan Alvear.
