At the 2026 Met Gala, Vera Wang made a bold fashion statement with her innovative look that consisted of a low-rise black skirt and a choker designed by Rudi Gernreich. The 76-year-old designer's outfit featured a skin-baring one-shoulder gown with a bandeau top underneath, showcasing her torso and arms. The addition of a sculptural sleeve on her right arm added dramatic flair to her appearance. Wang's design pays homage to Gernreich's iconic topless wool swimsuit from the 1970 collection, emphasizing her connection to fashion history. Accompanying her was actress Elizabeth Debicki, who donned a custom Vera Wang gown inspired by a Grecian robe. Wang's beauty look was understated, featuring platinum blonde hair and red nails, allowing her striking outfit to take center stage.
