The 2026 Met Gala: theme, co-chairs, and controversy - Ep 96

It’s almost time for the Met Gala once again, but what does fashion’s biggest night have in store for us in 2026? Already on the agenda: Beyoncé’s return to the Met Gala, an evergreen and highly—dare I say—academic theme, and a bit of drama. This year’s Met Gala also has some new lead sponsors that have some fashion fans annoyed. Plus, I’m sharing what the first Met Gala looked like (would you believe me if I told you it was held at midnight?) and what this year’s event will look like with new Vogue editor Chloe Malle in attendance alongside longtime Vogue editor and gala host Anna Wintour. We’re chatting dress code, guest list and so much more! Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments.Mentioned in episode 96:Mets spring training vlogMet Gala theme announcementAnna: The BiographyBack Row by Amy OdellNYFW recap episodeFollow Create & Consume:YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | PinterestFollow Austen:YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | BlogPodcast inquiries can be sent to [email protected] the website: https://www.createandconsumepodcast.com/Music credit: Babak Bazgosha via Pond5
