Fashion Impulse Mania

The Met Gala 2026 red carpet was a parade of unforgettable looks , from Kendall Jenner's GapStudio dress inspired by a white T-shirt to Janelle Monáe's Christian Siriano gown with animatronic butterflies and live wires. Plus, we can't forget the beauty moments that made our jaws drop (like Tyla's peacock-inspired nails and Bad Bunny's intricate prosthetics ) - many of which can be recreated with affordable drugstore products that celebrities actually used. And while most stars met the moment by bringing the "Fashion Is Art" theme to life, a few went a step further to incorporate art specific to their culture in their looks as well. All that to say, the night wasn't lacking when it came to sartorial inspiration. The one challenge? Not many celebrity looks were accessible or available to shop ( Meta Watch party street style notwithstanding). Lisa, however, was a welcome exception. The global star and " White Lotus " actress was one of th...

Every year, the Met Gala red carpet inspires style fanatics everywhere, from beauty lovers looking for drugstore buys that celebrities used while prepping to fashion obsessives uncovering every detail behind the intricate looks. Since Met Gala guests often choose extravagant designs, you may be at a loss for what to wear to a watch party or themed get-together. But not to worry, look no further than the Meta Watch Party creators for how to turn Met Gala themes into wearable outfits. Instagram hosts the event every year at the Mark Hotel, and this year saw over fifty fashion creators bringing the Met Gala theme to life in a fun, approachable way. Much like the Black Dandyism theme that translated to fashion, beauty, and decor finds, this year's dress code "Fashion Is Art" is more accessible than you think. You can embrace Yves Klein blue with a suit or gown in the vibrant cobalt hue or simply add a headpiece or floral arrangement (seriously) to your look to give it a d...

Met Gala season is upon us. The annual event takes place on the first Monday in May (May 4, 2026 this year) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, following its traditional calendar. We know the Met Gala is a whirlwind of fashion, beauty, imagination, and creativity so it's fair if you have lots of questions about the iconic event. If you're wondering "What is the Met Gala?" or "What happens at the Met Gala?" don't worry, we have a quick rundown of everything you need to know. Starting with the basics, you may or may not know that Condé Nast's Chief Content Officer Anna Wintour has been cochairing the Met Gala since 1999, and she's the backbone of fashion's biggest night. Wintour has run the Met Gala since 1995, and continues to make it one of the most noteworthy celebrations of art and fashion. And behind all the glitz and glamour on the red carpet, there's a curated exhibit for attendees (and eventually the public) to enjoy. The Met Gala 2...

Tied to the Costume Institute's "Costume Art" exhibition, celebrities like co-chair Beyoncé, Met Gala veterans Rihanna and Janelle Monáe, as well as breakout star Chase Infiniti all showed up ready to prove the point, each channeling their inner art connoisseur. But some took it a step further and used the opportunity to put Black art front and center on the Met steps. It's a welcome gesture after the 2025 Met Gala theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," which celebrated Black designers. The continuation sends the message that our identity is more than just a passing trend.
