Met Gala 2026: Emily Blunt’s $500,000 Body Necklace Is Indeed Groundbreaking

“Typically for the Met Gala, the clothing fully embodies the theme, while the jewelry plays more of a supporting role. Here, we reversed that,” she added. “The body necklace became the garment, it defines the silhouette and directly expresses the relationship between the body and what adorns it.”

The Oppenheimer actress’ attendance at this year’s event—co-hosted this year by Anna Wintour, Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams—marks her fifth time walking the famed Met steps, having previously attended in 2023, 2021, 2019 and 2016.

Her return to fashion’s biggest night is no surprise, though, given her, Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci’s recent return to their fashion-obsessed Devil Wears Prada characters in the film’s sequel, which premiered May 1.
