Madonna’s witchy Met Gala 2026 red carpet look comes with a coven

All hail the Queen of Pop!

On the heels of her viral Coachella cameo and ahead of the release of her long-awaited “Confessions II” album this summer, Madonna graced the Met Gala 2026 red carpet Monday wearing a black Saint Laurent lace gown and dark gray satin gloves.

The 67-year-old music legend chose to honor the “Costume Art” theme, exchanging her iconic blond locks for a black wig and rocking a pirate ship headpiece with a long, sheer gray cape attached.

Seven ladies-in-waiting donning satin dresses and sheer blindfolds surrounded Madonna while holding onto her cape.

The Grammy winner accessorized her witchy look with chunky rings, a bejeweled necklace and chunky black boots for the star-studded outing. She also carried a French horn-like instrument.

Artist Leonora Carrington’s 1945 painting, “The Temptation of St. Anthony. Fragment II,” inspired the iconic look.

At one point, Madonna was seen posing with Belgian fashion designer Anthony Vaccarello.

Last year, the “Material Girl” songstress embraced the gala’s  “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme in a cream-colored, double-breasted silk tuxedo from Tom Ford, which she accessorized with an unlit cigar and a gardenia pinned to her lapel.

For 2018’s “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination”-themed event, Madonna went gothic in an all-black Jean Paul Gaultier ensemble complete with a netted veil, cross-adorned crown, layered crucifix necklaces and a bouquet of black roses.

In 2013, the “Hung Up” chart-topper leaned into the evening’s “Punk: Chaos to Couture” theme in a plaid Givenchy blazer peppered with pyramid studs and styled sans pants. A black bobbed wig, chain-bedecked belt, ripped fishnets and peekaboo lingerie finished things off.

But Madonna’s most provocative and polarizing Met Gala look was unquestionably the bondage-inspired, booty-baring Givenchy getup she chose in 2016, which featured a layer of see-through black lace, strategically placed cutouts and millions of dollars in diamonds.

“When it comes to women’s rights we are still in the dark ages,” the superstar later wrote on Instagram of the look, which was intended to be “a political statement as well as a fashion statement.”

“The fact that people actually believe a woman is not allowed to express her sexuality and be adventurous past a certain age is proof that we still live in an ageist and sexist society,” Madonna added at the time. “I have never thought in a limited way and I’m not going to start.”
