Everything Met Gala: The Boycott, The Guest List & How 'Fashion Is Art' Will Look On The Red Carpet
About this episode
The episode discusses the significance of the Met Gala as a fundraiser and highlights key figures and themes for the upcoming event.
It is fashion’s biggest night of the year, but the Met Gala is much more than just a parade of celebrities on a red carpet. As we prepare for the 2026 event, we explore why this exclusive party is actually a vital fundraiser that bankrolls fashion as an art form. We dive into this year’s conceptual theme, and the dress code that's expected to ditch 'pretty dresses' for sculptural, gallery-level installations. Plus, we look at the power players making headlines this year; with Beyoncé returning to co-chair for the first time in a decade, and Jeff Bezos’ controversial sponsorship causing a stir, the guest list is as much about cultural tension as it is about couture. 🗞️ HEADLINES Friends urge Harry Styles to get a prenup Hearings delving into anti-semitism in Australia begin today Trump says he's unlikely to accept a new Iranian peace deal because "The Iranians had not yet paid a big enough price" Aussie Sam Kerr is now Chelsea's all time leading goal scorer after slotting her 64th The Academy has brought in new rules that blocks AI from ever winning an Oscar 📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?
