Hailey Bieber Is a Golden Goddess in Plated Armor at Met Gala 2026
The look echoed Saint Laurent’s sculptural couture collaborations and matched the Met Gala’s Costume Art theme.
On Monday, Hailey Bieber arrived at the Met Gala in New York City wearing a custom Saint Laurent gown featuring a 24-karat gold bodice, perfectly aligned with the 'Costume Art' exhibition theme.
The look drew inspiration from Yves Saint Laurent's fall 1969 couture collection, where the designer collaborated with French sculptor Claude Lalanne to mold sculpted metal bodices using an electroplating process.
Stylist Andrew Mukamal paired the gold breastplate with a form-fitting cobalt blue chiffon skirt and matching cape, while Bieber completed the ensemble with chunky gold earrings and Belperron jewelry.
Bieber walked the red carpet solo on Monday, as her husband, Justin Bieber, remained at home caring for their 20-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber.
This appearance marks Bieber's ninth time attending fashion's biggest night, returning after skipping the gala in 2023 and 2024 to celebrate the 'Fashion Is Art' dress code.
