Thee High SocieTea (Episode 8): Met Gala 2026 Recap - Best & Worst Looks + Our Unpopular Takes

Met Gala 2026 Recap: Best & Worst Looks + Our Unpopular TakesIn episode eight of The High Society, the hosts recap the 2026 Met Gala, themed “Costume Art” with the dress code “Fashion is Art,” co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour, and sponsored by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos amid labor-related protests. They find the event underwhelming and lackluster compared to past years, suggesting celebrities may have held back due to the current global climate, while also noting the Met’s role in funding the arts and providing escapism. They share favorite looks (including Heidi Klum, Beyoncé, Chase Infinity, Jeremy Pope, and Emma Chamberlain) and criticize others as boring or too revealing (including the Kardashians, Hailey Bieber, and Irina Shayk), mention EJ Johnson’s reviews, and discuss a puzzling Chanel jeans-and-blouse look. Unpopular takes include guarding your vulnerability and not sharing your bed with a dog for hygiene reasons.
