  • The visual aesthetic we are expecting

Finally, some news about our favorite night of the year! We just saw that the Met Gala 2026 has a date. Mark your calendars for May 4. It feels far away, but we are already picking out our favorite pajamas for the watch party.

The event always happens on the first Monday of May in New York. For those of us in India, that means a very early start. You will likely need to wake up around 3:30 AM on May 5 to see the first stars arrive. Grab your coffee. It is worth it.

As art graduates, we are obsessed with the visual style of this event. The red carpet is not just a walkway. It is a canvas. We are dying to see the theme and the color palette for 2026. The whole vibe is always so bold and unexpected.

While we wait for the big night, there is so much other news to talk about. Hrithik Roshan just shared a beautiful poem for his son Hridhan’s 18th birthday. It made us a bit emotional! Even Sussanne Khan joined in to welcome him to adulthood.

If you need something faster, the sequel to the Netflix shark thriller ‘Under Paris’ has started filming. That is a totally different aesthetic from the Met Gala! Also, Sangram Singh recently opened up about his marriage with Payal Rohatgi. He joked that they were enemies in a past life.

Our Take

We think the Met Gala is the ultimate fashion show. It is where art meets the real world. We love how the designers play with textures and light. 2026 cannot come soon enough. We will be right here watching every single outfit with you!
