The Met Gala 2026 red carpet begins tonight at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, with Vogue’s official livestream starting at 6 p.m. ET.
Vogue will stream arrivals, interviews and red carpet coverage across its digital platforms, including YouTube and TikTok, according to the source content. Guests may begin arriving as early as 4:30 p.m. ET, before major celebrity entrances later in the evening.
This year’s theme, “Fashion is Art,” connects with the Costume Institute’s “Costume Art” exhibition. The theme invites guests to treat clothing as a creative expression, setting up a red carpet expected to feature experimental looks.
Ashley Graham, La La Anthony and Cara Delevingne will lead Vogue’s coverage. Emma Chamberlain will return as a red carpet correspondent after becoming a prominent part of the event’s digital broadcast.
E! will also air red carpet coverage, including commentary and arrivals from nearby hotels, where many celebrities prepare before reaching the museum.
