Margot Robbie Stuns in Elaborate Golden Chanel Creation at 2026 Met Gala

Margot Robbie commanded attention at the 2026 Met Gala on Monday, May 4, arriving at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in a breathtaking golden Chanel creation.

The 35-year-old actress wore a long draped gown in golden lamé, featuring an elaborate back adorned with cascading ruffles in a gradient of flower petals and a golden flower embellished with feathers. The intricate piece represents a major feat of craftsmanship—the dress required 761 hours of work to complete, with 1,080 embroidered elements meticulously added throughout.

As a Chanel ambassador, Robbie completed her look with the house's high jewelry selections, including Golden Sillage earrings crafted from 18k white gold, 18k yellow gold, diamonds, yellow sapphires, spessartite garnets, and two pear-shaped yellow sapphires. She also accessorized with the Lion Emblématique Ring and a Golden Braid Ring, finishing the ensemble with Chanel makeup.

The evening marked the annual celebration of the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Art exhibition, which examines "the 'centrality of the dressed body' through depictions and interpretations of the human form" drawn from the museum's collection. This year's dress code was "Fashion is Art," with co-chairs including Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.

The Met Gala remains fashion's most prestigious annual event, drawing hundreds of A-list celebrities and industry figures for an evening of haute couture on the red carpet.
