Raleigh Durham, NC, November 5, 2026 — The Metropolitan Museum of Art has revealed the theme for its highly anticipated 2027 Met Gala. The upcoming event, a cornerstone of the fashion calendar, will embrace the concept of “extraORDINARY”.

This theme marks the latest in a series of curated concepts that guide the fashion presentations and the associated exhibition. The Met Gala, officially known as the Costume Institute Gala, is an annual fundraising event held to benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. It is widely regarded as one of the most exclusive social events in the world and serves as the opening of the Costume Institute’s annual fashion exhibition.

While the theme “extraORDINARY” has been announced, specific details regarding the exhibition’s focus, the designers who will be featured, or the celebrity co-chairs for the 2027 event have not yet been released. The announcement typically sets the stage for significant sartorial interpretations by the attending celebrities and designers, who are expected to craft their red carpet looks in accordance with the chosen theme.

Past themes have often drawn inspiration from specific designers, historical periods, artistic movements, or broader cultural concepts. The “extraORDINARY” theme suggests an exploration of fashion that transcends the conventional, potentially encompassing avant-garde designs, innovative materials, or looks that challenge typical aesthetic norms. The precise scope and interpretation of this theme will likely become clearer in the months leading up to the event.

The event is scheduled to take place in early May 2027, as is tradition. The Met Gala’s exhibition, which often runs for several months, typically draws large crowds and significant media attention. Further announcements regarding the exhibition content and guest list are anticipated from the museum in due course.
