2026 Met Gala: Celebrating Couture, Craft, and the Art of Fashion

This week on Swoon‑Worthy, we’re stepping away from our usual period‑drama deep dives for something a little different — a breakdown of the 2026 Met Gala. With this year’s dress code, Fashion Is Art, the Met’s spring exhibition highlights the relationship between garments and fine art, and we couldn’t resist exploring the craftsmanship behind the night’s most extravagant looks.As lovers of costume design, we’re celebrating the designers, tailors, embroiderers, embellishers, and garment‑makers whose work transforms the Met Gala carpet into a living gallery. From actors to athletes to musicians, we’re sharing our favorite looks of the night and the artistry that brought them to life.Join us (Carly, Stephanie, and Sunnie) for a conversation full of fashion joy, behind‑the‑scenes appreciation, and a few connections to historical aesthetics and the period dramas we adore.And stay tuned — next week we’ll be sharing a very special conversation with someone who works behind the scenes in the costume department of one of our favorite period dramas. You won’t want to miss it.
