Anna Wintour made her entrance at the 2026 Met Gala in the kind of statement-making fashion that only she can pull off, a feathered turquoise jacket layered over a turquoise and black embroidered dress, both custom Chanel, bringing the evening’s couture theme to life with signature authority.
The 76-year-old arrived among the first to step onto the white carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, sporting her signature oversized sunglasses, a jeweled statement necklace, strappy black stilettos and, of course, her trademark bob and fringe.
Some things never change.
Wintour remains the executive chairman of the annual fundraiser despite handing editorial control of American Vogue to her successor Chloe Malle, who was named chief editorial content officer in September.
Wintour has since taken on the role of chief content officer for Condé Nast, overseeing a portfolio that includes THE CABLE, Vanity Fair, GQ, Glamour and Bon Appetitwhere Malle still reports directly into her.
This year’s co-chairs joining Wintour are Beyoncé, making her first Met Gala appearance in a decade, Venus Williams and Nicole Kidman.
Honorary Chairs Lauren Sánchez Bezos and Jeff Bezos created a stir when their roles were announced, having secured the titles after pledging to be the evening’s top donors.
Wintour has been steadfastly positive about the hiring. “We are very grateful for her incredible generosity,” she shared CNN in November. “So we’re happy she’s part of the night.”
This will be Lauren’s second Met Gala appearance and Jeff’s third.
