It's fashion's biggest night, and this year's Met Gala cohosts and buzzy guests—Nicole Kidman! Venus Williams! Zoë Kravitz!—outdid themselves debuting jaw-dropping ensembles with art in mind. The dress code for 2026's ball is Fashion Is Art, which ties back to the Costume Institute's corresponding exhibition, Costume Art, and allows for plenty of varying interpretations. As a result, everyone joined the hosts and got creative, debuting masterpiece after masterpiece as they arrived at the base of the museum's carpeted steps.Credit: John Shearer/WireImage/Getty ImagesWHO: Gigi HadidWEAR: Custom Miu Miu dress; Jessica McCormack Asymmetric Emerald Diamond Hoop Earrings (Price upon request), 5.01ct Heart-Shaped Diamond Button Back Ring (Price upon request), 7.01ct Emerald Cut Diamond Button Back Ring (Price upon request), Large Cut-Down Blackened Gold Band ($30750), and a Small Round Diamond Millegrain Eternity Band ($27250)Gigi Hadid is one such attendee, arriving on the Van Gogh–inspired carpet for her 11th Met Gala wearing a completely sheer, rhinestone-crusted gown by Miu Miu featuring flame and floral embroidery in gold, black, and silver. According to an interview with Vogue, she referenced two Miu Miu collections from the past—spring 1998 and spring 2011—taking the sheer base from the former and the embroidery from the latter. She paired the dress with a smattering of diamond jewelry by Jessica McCormack. I'm talking over 33 carats worth.The result is a naked-dress outfit for the Met Gala record books—and an unexpected lingerie trend.Credit: Mike Coppola/Getty ImagesGiven the translucent nature of her dress, you can easily spot the panties she chose to wear underneath it: a pair of cream cheeky underwear. Typically, it's thongs that we spot on the red carpet, so Hadid's cheeky style is an unexpected choice, one that will no doubt influence the way people shop for undergarments post-Met. All I'm saying is that the next time you go shopping for new undies, keep this look in mind.
