Met Gala Watch Party

Monday, May 4th 2026

‌The Art of Style Event

Guests will enter a world of fashion as living art on a red carpet where they can discuss their style with local fashion leaders among displays of fashion as art by local designers organized by Black Creatives in the Lou. In addition to a watch party of the Met Gala red carpet with large screen projection, the evening also celebrates the 90th anniversary of FGI through Images of Illusion II, a juried fashion editorial pop-up photo exhibition. Guests are also invited to become part of the festivities through their art-inspired, expressive, and intentional looks, drawing inspiration from the 2026 Met Gala theme, Costume Art. Look no further than CAM’s current exhibition And I Saw New Heavens and a New Earth: The Partnership, Art, and Activism of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore for artistic representations of the body and self-representation. A guest runway walk will recognize outstanding individual interpretations of the theme. Throughout the evening, all guests will be treated to a DJ set, and drinks for purchase; a limited number of VIP packages with exclusive benefits are also available. The event cultivates an experience that is elevated, inclusive, and playful—where fashion, art, and community meet, and every guest is both artist and masterpiece.
