Accra: New York City The annual Met Gala fashion event came back to the streets of New York City on the evening of May 4, 2026, and as usual, celebrities and their fashion designers came with a collection of eccentric, fascinating, and some downright bizarre costumes that made the trends.
According to Ghana Web, the event's theme, "Fashion is Art," encouraged celebrities to blur the lines between high fashion and artistic expression, with some taking the expression to great lengths. From Beyonce to Katy Perry to Heidi Klum, here are the top most bizarre looks from the 2026 Met Gala.
Beyonce made a stunning return to the Met Gala after a 10-year hiatus to co-chair the event this year. Joined by her husband Jay Z and their daughter Blue Ivy, her look became the highlight of the night. Partnering with designer Olivier Rousteing, Beyonce appeared in a sheer silver gown featuring a skeleton of crystals, complete with a feathered train and a crystal headpiece.
Heidi Klum, known for her extravagant costumes at the Met Gala over the years, made a bold statement by attending the event as a statue. Her white, full-body look covered her from head to toes, including her eyes and teeth, closely resembling an ancient Greek statue, making her one of the most talked-about celebrities of the night.
Katy Perry, after a 4-year break, returned to the carpet with a spontaneous costume. She wore a white Stella McCartney gown complete with white gloves bearing six fingers. The focal point of her outfit was a silver headpiece by Miodrag Gubernic, resembling the headgears worn by fencing athletes.
Kim Kardashian partnered with British artist Allen Jones to pay tribute to the 1960s culture of movies accentuating the female form. Kardashian arrived in a blunt orange breastplate with pointed breasts, capturing the essence of the evening's theme.
Emma Chamberlain, the internet personality and presenter, took the theme seriously by dressing up as a painting. She walked in with a custom Mugler by Miguel Castro Freitas, highlighting her family background in the arts.
