NEW YORK — The guest list for the Met Gala is beginning to take shape, with Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber among the high-profile names expected to attend.
The annual event, held on the first Monday in May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is widely regarded as the “Oscars of fashion,” drawing global attention for its star-studded red carpet and bold style statements.
Kardashian, a regular presence at the gala, is set to return this year, while it remains unclear whether her sisters — including Kendall Jenner — and their mother Kris Jenner will also attend.
Other expected guests include actress Julia Garner, designer Alexa Chung, actress Gabrielle Union, Rebecca Hall, and Jimmy Butler.
Bieber is also expected to attend, though it is not yet confirmed whether her husband Justin Bieber will accompany her.
This year’s theme, “Costume Art,” will be paired with a dress code titled “Fashion is Art,” emphasizing the connection between fashion and artistic expression.
The gala will be co-chaired by Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams, with Anna Wintour continuing her longstanding role overseeing the event.
The host committee includes prominent figures such as Beyoncé, alongside a diverse lineup from fashion, film, and music.
Organizers say the exhibition will feature around 200 garments and accessories displayed alongside artworks, highlighting fashion’s role within broader cultural and artistic movements.
As anticipation builds, the Met Gala is once again set to deliver a global spectacle of celebrity, creativity and high fashion.
