3 May 2027
Met Gala 2027
Fashion’s biggest night, on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum.
The Costume Institute Benefit is held on the first Monday in May; in 2027 that is 3 May (the date is expected but has not been confirmed officially). The gala itself is by invitation only.
The whole of Manhattan feels it: after-parties, dinners and hotel bars on the Upper East Side are fully booked that night.
