Margot Robbie made a striking comeback at the Met Gala 2026, showcasing a custom gold gown designed by Matthieu Blazy, the new creative director of Chanel. This marked her first appearance at the prestigious event since 2023. The gown, embodying the theme 'Fashion Is Art,' featured a fitted bodice and a flowing skirt with a cascading train adorned with flower petal appliques. It included nearly 1,100 pieces of embroidery and required 761 hours of craftsmanship. Robbie complemented her look with minimal jewellery and styled her hair in a sleek updo. The Met Gala's theme aligns with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's spring 2026 exhibition, 'Costume Art,' which aims to explore the relationship between fashion and art. Andrew Bolton, curator of the Costume Institute, emphasized the transformative nature of the exhibition, which will pair artworks spanning 5,000 years with historical and contemporary garments. Since her debut in 2014, Robbie has consistently made memorable fashion statements at the Met Gala, including a tribute to Karl Lagerfeld in 2023.
