Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez to co-chair 2026 Met Gala
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are set to co-chair the 2026 Met Gala on May 4, joining big names like Beyonce, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour.
The couple has been lead sponsors for the Costume Art exhibition since late 2025 and are now taking a bigger role at this year's "Fashion is Art" event.
Sanchez hints at special tributes to designers like Schiaparelli
Sanchez called it a "meaningful" experience, hinting at special tributes to designers like Schiaparelli.
Their involvement follows a tradition of high-profile sponsors—think Stephen Schwarzman's sponsorship in 2018—and shows how the Met Gala keeps evolving with new faces and ideas.
Bezos's past Met Gala appearances
Bezos previously chaired the event in 2012 for Amazon and attended solo in 2019. Sanchez made her debut just two years ago, in 2024.
While their sponsorship has sparked some mixed reactions, Anna Wintour publicly thanked Sanchez for her "incredible generosity."
Zoe Kravitz joins the committee
The committee is getting fresh energy too—Zoe Kravitz is on board as a member, along with eight new additions announced last month.
