The 2026 Met Gala, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, embraced the theme 'Fashion Is Art,' inviting guests to explore the intersection of fashion and artistic expression. Event designer Raul Avila transformed the dining space into a lush representation of Northern Italian gardens, featuring real fruits and flowers as centerpieces. The culinary experience, curated by Olivier Cheng Catering, was structured as a three-part journey: 'The garden' starter included a burrata dish with green tomato salad, symbolizing spring's freshness. The main course, 'The statue,' showcased a sculptural rack of lamb with seasonal vegetables. The dessert course, 'The silhouette,' featured three creations inspired by iconic fashion designs, including an Alexander McQueen-inspired chocolate dessert. Chef Olivier Cheng and executive chef Shane O'Neill aimed to create visually striking dishes that mirrored the gala's artistic essence, making the food a standout element of the evening.
