World, stop — Beyoncé is officially co-chairing the 2026 Met Gala.

On Wednesday (December 10), Vogue announced that the global icon will lead fashion’s biggest night alongside tennis legend Venus Williams, Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman, and longtime Met curator and former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

The 2026 gala will celebrate the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, “Costume Art,” a theme that spotlights clothing as artistic expression. The event will also mark Queen Bey's first Met Gala appearance in ten years. Beyoncé's last appearance came in 2016 for the “Manus x Machina” exhibit, where she shut down the carpet in custom Givenchy Haute Couture.

Vogue additionally announced that Anthony Vaccarello and Zoë Kravitz will co-chair the 2026 Met Gala Host Committee, with additional members including Doja Cat, Misty Copeland, Gwendoline Christie, Sabrina Carpenter, Paloma Elsesser, Teyana Taylor, A’ja Wilson, LISA, Alex Consani, Elizabeth Debicki, Lena Dunham, Chloe Malle, Sam Smith, Lauren Wasser, Anna Weyant, and Yseult. More committee members will be announced at a later date.
