Tom Sturridge and Alexa Chung Step Out Together at 2026 Met Gala

Tom Sturridge and Alexa Chung proved to be one of Monday's standout couples at the Met Gala, stepping onto the red carpet together at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 4.

The pair, who have been together for four years, don't frequently appear in public as a unit, making their appearance at fashion's biggest night a notable moment. Chung turned heads in a striking yellow gown featuring a daring high slit.

What They Wore

Chung's ensemble came courtesy of Dior. The satin halter-neck dress showcased a chiffon insert adorned with a chartreuse geometric pattern. A fabric waterlily brooch cinched the waist, while an elaborate headpiece composed of fabric lily-of-the-valley bouquets and black satin ribbons completed the look. She finished the outfit with Dior shoes, a Dior Haute Joaillerie ring, and matching earrings, with her makeup also by Dior Beauty.

Their Relationship Timeline

While the exact start date of their romance remains unclear, Sturridge and Chung confirmed their relationship publicly in July 2022 when they were spotted kissing at Wimbledon. That same outing also included Sturridge's ex-girlfriend Sienna Miller and her current partner.

About the 2026 Met Gala

The annual celebration brings together hundreds of A-list celebrities to mark the opening of the Met's Costume Art exhibition, which examines the "centrality of the dressed body" through depictions and interpretations of the human form from the museum's collection. This year's dress code centered on "Fashion is Art," with Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour serving as co-chairs.
