Each Met Gala look makes its mark on the evening in its own way. Ashley Graham's look this year, 2026, is a prime example: a dress entirely sewn directly onto her body, inspired by snakeskin, which opened the evening with rare artistic precision.<\/p>\n

Hostess and first arrival on the red carpet<\/h2>\n

Ashley Graham was one of the first celebrities to ascend the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the night of May 4-5, 2026, as co-host of the Vogue Met Gala livestream, alongside actress, DJ, and radio host La La Anthony and British model and actress Cara Delevingne. She carried it off with effortless grace\u2014and an outfit that immediately set the tone for the evening.<\/p>\n

The dress worn by Ashley Graham was by Dimitra Petsa, the Greek founder of Di Petsa\u2014a label known for its signature "wet look" dress. The gown, with its flesh-toned hues and woven mesh details, was inspired by snake scales\u2014a second skin in the truest sense of the word. The team sewed the entire dress directly onto Ashley Graham's body before she walked the red carpet.<\/p>\n

The designer told Vogue: "I've always admired Ashley for her intelligence and beauty, and it's a dream to dress her for such an important occasion."<\/em> This is also the first time a Di Petsa creation has been worn at the Met Gala. <\/p>\n
