NEW YORK — The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Wednesday announced co-chairs for its 2026 Met Gala, and they will represent the fields of entertainment, sports and fashion.
Thirty-five-time Grammy Award winner Beyoncé, seven-time tennis Grand Slam singles champion Venus Williams and Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman will join Vogue’s Anna Wintour in hosting the event in May 2026.
Williams has never been a co-host, although her younger sister, 23-time Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams, has hosted the event.
It will be Beyoncé’s first Met Gala appearance in a decade —she attended the gala in 2016. She was also an honorary chair in 2012.
Kidman co-chaired the gala in 2003 and 2005, while Wintour oversees the annual event.
