Beyoncé Set to Make Grand Return to the Met Gala After 10 Years

Get ready, BeyHive — Queen Beyoncé is making her grand return to the Met Gala, and the fashion world is already holding its breath. After a full decade away, Vogue confirms that Bey will be one of the official co-chairs for the 2026 Met Gala, celebrating the Met’s spring Costume Institute exhibition, “Costume Art.”

And listen… this is a lineup! Beyoncé will be co-chairing alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and the queen of fashion herself, Anna Wintour. That’s a power table if I’ve ever seen one.

The theme “Costume Art” promises a deep dive into fashion as fine art — the craftsmanship, the creativity, the drama. And if anybody knows how to bring drama in the most elegant way possible, it’s Beyoncé. She’s shown us better than telling us over the Met Gala years.

The last time she blessed those Met steps was back in 2016 for the “Manus x Machina” gala, and she did not come to play — that custom Givenchy Haute Couture gown is still living in our heads rent-free. It was sleek, bold, and instantly iconic.

Now with her 2026 return locked in, fans are already buzzing: What will she wear? Who will she collaborate with? What moment is she about to give us next? One thing we know for sure — when Beyoncé shows up, it becomes a cultural moment. She shifts the room.

Fashion’s biggest night just got its sparkle back.
