Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor have returned to fashion’s biggest night!

The couple, who have been married since 2000, arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s 2026 Met Gala on Monday, May 4.

The couple showed off their well-known love for the New York Knicks, channeling the NBA team’s colors with their gala attire. Stiller, 60, wore a tailored navy blue suit with a bright orange tie, while Taylor, 54, donned a cobalt blue strapless gown with florals embroidered with sequins.

The last time Stiller and Taylor attended the Met Gala was in 2016, when the theme was “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology.”

That year, the Severance director donned a dark blue Valentino tuxedo and Taylor stunned in a wispy black Valentino dress embroidered with florals.

The “Costume is Art” exhibit, which will run from May 10, 2026, to Jan. 10, 2027, will also address “the centrality of the dressed body in the museum’s vast collection,” by pairing paintings, sculptures and other objects spanning the 5,000 years of art represented in The Met, alongside historical and contemporary garments from the Costume Institute.

“It will be transformative for our department, but I also think it’s going to be transformative to fashion more generally — the fact that an art museum like The Met is actually giving a central location to fashion,” explained curator in charge Andrew Bolton.
