If there's been one uniting theme of all the blockbuster fashion exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it’s the simple idea that fashion is art.

"Costume Art,” announced Monday (Nov 17) as the next big show at the museum’s Costume Institute – launched by the starry Met Gala in 2026 – aims to make that connection more literal than ever, pairing garments with objects from across the museum to show how fashion has long been intertwined with different art forms.
