The Metropolitan Museum of Art officially announced the 2026 Met Gala theme as 'Threads of Tomorrow: Fashion in the Age of AI,' exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and haute couture. The event is set for May 4.
Co-chairs for this year's event include a tech billionaire, an Oscar-winning actress, and a boundary-pushing fashion designer known for incorporating technology into wearable garments.
Several top designers have already teased AI-collaborative gowns on social media, with one house revealing a dress whose pattern was generated by a neural network trained on 500 years of fashion history.
