Madonna Uses 7 Blindfolded Helpers to Hold Up Her Otherworldly Met Gala 2026 Dress

The singer’s look featured a train carried by seven women and a wig made by Merria Dearman with hairstylist Eugene Souleiman.

  • On Monday, May 4, Madonna arrived at the 2026 Met Gala in New York City wearing an ethereal black Saint Laurent gown, honoring the "Fashion Is Art" theme with a ship-shaped headpiece.
  • British-Mexican surrealist painter Leonora Carrington's 1945 painting "The Temptation of St. Anthony Fragment II" inspired the look, which adhered to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's "Costume Art" exhibition theme.
  • Artisan wigmaker Merria Dearman crafted the 50-inch custom piece, which required nearly 60 hours to complete; Dearman collaborated with hairstylist Eugene Souleiman on the textured, voluminous look.
  • Seven female helpers accompanied the 67-year-old music legend, holding her cape to form a star; the gothic aesthetic contrasted sharply with her 2025 Tom Ford suit.
  • Following her viral Coachella cameo, Madonna prepares for the July 3 release of her album "Confessions II," positioning the pop icon for a busy summer season ahead.
