The 2026 Met Gala was held in New York, with a number of high-end headpieces and masks. The event marked the opening of the Costume Institute's spring exhibition, "Costume Art," which will open at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 10. Among the attendees were Katy Perry in a futuristic, chrome face-covering and a sequined Stella McCartney dress. Despite internet criticism, fans praised Perry's eccentricity and willingness to cover her face in masks. Other notable attendees included "Game of Thrones" star Gwendoline Christie, "All's Fair" star Sarah Paulson, and "Bad Bunny" for their aging bodies.
