Madonna Uses 7 Blindfolded Helpers to Hold Up Her Otherworldly Met Gala 2026 Dress

Madonna is striking a pose at the 2026 Met Gala.
Indeed, the “Vogue” hitmaker dressed to impress at the annual fundraising event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City May 4.
Staying true to this year’s “Costume Art” theme and “Fashion Is Art” dress code, Madonna wore an ethereal black gown by Saint Laurent on the steps of the Met complete with a massive black headpiece in the shape of a sail boat. Not only that, but the Grammy winner brought seven female helpers with her as she made her way down the red carpet. (See every star’s fashion here.)
The ladies in waiting—who wore sheer blindfolds over their eyes and simple dresses in varying muted colors—each held up a piece of Madonna’s mile-long train as they posed for pictures in unison together.
To top off her gothic look, Madonna rocked long black hair.
But this wouldn’t be the first time the “Like a Virgin” singer has donned an unforgettable Met Gala look. After all, she stunned at the 2025 event in a cream Tom Ford suit for the night’s “Tailored for You” dress code.
