The creation worn by Russian model Irina Shayk at the Met Gala 2026, on the night of May 4-5, was entirely made up of watches, chains and jewelry, and it immediately captured everyone's attention on the red carpet.<\/p>\n

200 hours of handcrafting<\/h2>\n

The creation required over 200 hours of meticulous handcrafting. Chains replaced traditional stitching, a watch served as the main clasp, metal necklaces and bracelets encircled the arms, and a chain extended down to the navel. All of this was combined with a long, flowing black skirt that anchored the ensemble in a cohesive silhouette\u2014the understated lower portion allowing the architectural complexity of the upper section to take center stage.<\/p>\n

This piece was designed by Alexander Wang, who described his concept in a press release: "Conceived as a wearable archive, the creation draws on surrealist principles, recontextualizing functional objects in fashion. Chains replace seams, clasps replace stitches, and watches anchor the body as closure and focal point."<\/em> An artistic statement that perfectly encapsulated the "Fashion is Art" theme of the 2026 Met Gala. <\/p>\n
