Add ARY News on Google AAResize Anna Wintour shone again by returning to her Kingdom. She appeared at the front steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she still reigns as the lead chairperson of the annual fundraiser despite Chloe Malle being named her successor at Vogue.
Anna was among the first to step onto the white carpet, though she is sure to be joined soon by this year’s co-chairs: Beyoncé, making her return to the Met Gala for the first time in a decade, Venus Williams, and Nicole Kidman. Only two honorary chairs caused a bit of a stir upon their announcement. Lauren Sánchez Bezos and Jeff Bezos were given the titles after they committed to being the 2026 Gala’s biggest donors.
This will be the second time Lauren has attended the event, and Jeff’s third; he also attended in 2012 with his then-wife, MacKenzie Scott. Anna, however, remained unbothered by the buzz generated by the appointment, calling Lauren a “wonderful asset to the museum and the event.”
