Heidi Klum attended the 2026 Met Gala as a living marble statue, showcasing her commitment to high-concept fashion. Her costume, inspired by Raffaelle Monti’s Veiled Vestal sculpture, turned heads on the red carpet.

The theme of this year’s gala was Costume Art. Klum’s look was created by prosthetic make-up designer Mike Marino. She accessorized with grey contacts and a fully painted face and teeth, which contributed to her striking transformation.

Klum is known for her impressive red carpet costumes. She often aims to inspire creativity through her outfits, blurring the line between fashion and fine art. This year, she achieved this goal with a one-of-a-kind design that elevates the body into art.

Yet, Klum’s commitment to her costumes often results in unrecognizable transformations. She shared her look on social media, expressing her love for both fashion and art.

Notable quotes:

  • “I love fashion, I love art, and I especially love when the two collide.”
  • “I never take the easy way out.”
  • “It’s like a life performance art thing in a way because you see so much AI and things are being photographed, repatched…”

Klum has also hosted one of New York’s most famous Halloween parties, further cementing her status in the world of costume art. Her approach emphasizes that fashion is indeed an art form.
