The Met Gala 2026 has made headlines with ticket prices soaring to $100,000 (approximately ₹95 lakh), an increase from $75,000 last year, as reported by CBS News. A table accommodating ten guests starts at $350,000 (around ₹3.2 crore). Attendance remains exclusive, with invitations only, and approximately 400 guests are anticipated. The event's proceeds support the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, with expectations to exceed last year's fundraising total of $31 million. This year's honorary chairs include Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sanchez Bezos, alongside official co-chairs such as Beyoncé and Nicole Kidman. The theme for 2026 is 'Fashion is Art,' inspired by an upcoming exhibit exploring the connection between clothing and the human body. Indian celebrities made a significant impact at the gala, with Isha Ambani showcasing a sculptural saree and filmmaker Karan Johar making his debut in a hand-painted ensemble. Other notable attendees included Ananya Birla, Natasha Poonawalla, and Sudha Reddy, each wearing striking outfits that highlighted their cultural heritage.
