Met Gala 2026: Emily Blunt’s $500,000 Body Necklace Is Indeed Groundbreaking
The half-million-dollar Mikimoto piece turned jewelry into the dress, with thousands of Akoya pearls and a 21.85-carat morganite centered on the look.
- On Monday, actress Emily Blunt attended the 2026 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, wearing a custom Ashi Studio ensemble and a $500,000 pearl body necklace by Mikimoto.
- This year's 'Costume Art' exhibition celebrated fashion as an artistic form, with a 'Fashion Is Art' dress code that drew celebrities to raise funds for the Met's Costume Institute.
- Stylist Jessica Paster noted the necklace 'became the garment' rather than playing a supportive role, featuring thousands of Akoya pearls, a structured diamond collar, and a 21.85-carat pear-shaped morganite.
- The Devil Wears Prada 2 achieved nearly $234 million in opening weekend box office revenue, marking the biggest global launch of the Oscar nominee's career to date.
- Blunt walked the red carpet with her sister, Felicity Blunt, and brother-in-law Stanley Tucci, while her husband, John Krasinski, was absent due to his upcoming film production.
