The Met Gala 2026 menu, themed 'Costume Art,' was designed as a culinary reflection of the exhibition and event decor inspired by a Northern Italian garden. The three-course meal featured a spring-inspired green tomato salad appetizer, a sculptural lamb main course, and three couture desserts. Each dessert was inspired by iconic fashion pieces, including designs by Alexander McQueen, Robert Wun, and Christian Dior, selected by Met Gala chair Anna Wintour and curator Andrew Bolton to mirror the gala's artistic theme.
