• It's Met Gala season.
• The event is fashion's biggest night, but some A-list attendees miss the mark with their looks.
• Some stars have ignored past themes, while others picked outfits that looked like costumes.
It's finally time for the 2026 Met Gala.
The annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute is set for May 4, 2026, the first Monday in May. The 2026 event has a "Costume Art" theme, which is paired with a "Fashion Is Art" dress code.
Plenty of stars wear stunning outfits at the Met Gala, but it's also easy to miss the mark with fashion for the night. From misinterpreting the Met Gala theme to ignoring it altogether, some stars just don't know how to dress for the event.
Take a look back at some of the worst Met Gala looks of all time.
