The 2026 Met Gala was a star-studded affair celebrating fashion’s biggest night.
A-listers including Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and more turned heads when they walked the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, May 4, and adhered to the “Costume Art” dress code.
Inside the event, celebrities mingled as they enjoyed a night out and smiled while posing for photos. Bradley Cooper, for his part, made a surprise appearance after opting not to walk the red carpet with girlfriend Gigi Hadid, who had given him a sweet shout-out earlier.
“I try to bring my mind to a happy place. What we do in our job is go to a happy place, think of happy thoughts and the smile comes through the eyes and it makes you come to life,” she said during Vogue’s red carpet livestream while discussing how she stays focused in front of the cameras.
The model shared that she thinks of her daughter, Khai, and then her “man.” (Hadid welcomed her daughter with ex Zayn Malik in 2020.) “When I think about Khai, maybe I’m giving joy. And then I’ll serve something else to Bradley for the camera,” she said.
