How Super-Skinny Red Carpet Trend at Met Gala Clashes with Own Its Body-Positive Costume Art Show
The Met Gala’s 2026 "Costume Art" theme was paired with a museum exhibition showcasing mannequins that represent a broad spectrum of bodies, from disabled to plus‑size.

The show, however, may provide a high‑visibility counter‑point to the prevailing thin‑ideal in Hollywood and runway culture.
