Sabrina Carpenter’s Met Gala Duet With Stevie Nicks Is the New Gold Standard for Pop Collabs

Sabrina Carpenter and Stevie Nicks Deliver a Generational "Landslide" Moment at the Met Gala

Inside the Met Gala, Sabrina Carpenter, 26, walked the red carpet in a Dior dress by Jonathan Anderson that paid homage to Audrey Hepburn's 1954 film Sabrina, wrapping her in film strips from the movie. Then she took the stage with Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks, 77, for a meditative cover of "Landslide." In the Met's video, Nicks emerged after assistants pulled down a sheet covering a giant picture frame, dressed in a glittery black gown with translucent fingerless gloves, backlit like an Impressionist masterpiece. Carpenter appeared from the darkness in a shimmering golden gown, gently taking Nicks' hand as she joined in. By the final refrain, the A++-list crowd — audibly chatting through the first half — had gone silent.

Nicks kept Carpenter on stage after "Landslide," moving through Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow," then "Gypsy," and her 1981 solo hit "Edge of Seventeen." Carpenter wasn't finished. Carried to the stage by four tuxedo attendants and wearing a colorful pop art-inspired dress, she performed her own hits: "Espresso," "Please Please Please," and "House Tour." The night amounted to a full-scale showcase, not just a single viral moment.

The performance follows Carpenter's recent team-up with Madonna on "Bring Your Love" from the Queen of Pop's upcoming Confessions II album — two major diva collabs in one week.

Gobble's Take: Two diva collabs in seven days means Sabrina Carpenter isn't climbing the pop-icon ladder — she's already at the top.

Blake Lively's 2026 Met Gala Bag Was a Secret Art Gallery for Her Kids

Blake Lively's 2026 Met Gala look already had people talking — a billowing Atelier Versace halter ballgown adorned with lavender crystals and Venetian Rococo-inspired hues that required four people to guide her up the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps. But the real emotional punch came in her hand.

The actress, 38, carried a custom Judith Leiber bag featuring her four children's artwork. In an interview with Vogue, she explained the bag was originally meant to display a famous iconic piece of art in a frame — but she had a different idea. "If you're gonna do it custom, can you do my kids' art?" she asked. Each of her four children — James, 11, Inez, 9, Betty, 6, and Olin, 3 — painted a watercolor painting for the bag. "So I have them with me," she said. She also admitted she's shy and just likes having her kids with her — and joked she probably could've fit them under her dress. On Instagram Stories after the evening, she reflected that having "each of their sweet paintings" on her bag was "the dream and my ultimate comfort."

Lively made her surprise appearance hours after announcing a settlement in her yearlong legal battle with It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni. She admitted the bag was a source of strength for her at the event — and her cousin William McAlpin was also on hand, helping hold the gown's dramatic train up the stairs.

Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper Turn Met Gala 2026 Into a Date Night Inside the Museum

Gigi Hadid walked the Met Gala 2026 steps alone on May 4, wearing a sheer black Miu Miu gown with floral detailing and sparkles. But inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she was with her boyfriend. Hadid caught up with Bradley Cooper inside the Costume Institute's installation, where photographer Jutharat Pinyodoonyachet captured them walking side-by-side. In the Vogue snap, Cooper, 51, was all smiles in a double-breasted suit while Hadid kept her eyes fixed on him.

Hadid, 31, explained to Vogue how she stays grounded on the steps. "I try to bring my mind to a happy place," she said. "Think of happy thoughts and the smile comes through the eyes and it makes you come to life." Her mental checklist: "First happy thought, Khai my daughter, and then my man." Khai, 5, is her daughter with ex Zayn Malik.

They weren't the only couple making a night of it. Beyoncé — who co-chaired the event alongside Anna Wintour, Venus Williams, and Nicole Kidman — brought husband Jay-Z and their 14-year-old daughter Blue Ivy. For Beyoncé, it was her first Met Gala in 10 years. "It feels surreal because my daughter is here," she told Vogue. "It's incredible to be able to share it with her."

Gobble's Take: When the most powerful room in fashion becomes a date night, the real flex is who you brought with you.

Kylie Jenner's Met Gala 2026 Eyebrow Disaster Is a Reminder That Glam Isn't Always Graceful

Kylie Jenner shut down the Met Gala 2026 red carpet on May 4 in a custom Schiaparelli gown — a body-forward nude illusion corset bustier with fake nipple details, offset by a cream flowing skirt designed to look like she'd started undressing before arriving. Her brunette hair fell in waves with a standout curl on her forehead, and her makeup stayed natural to let the look do the talking. The exception: bleached blonde brows.

The real drama came after. Jenner posted an Instagram Stories video captioned "Trying to dye my brows back," showing makeup artist Ariel Tejada attempting to wipe away the remaining blonde — only to reveal an auburn shade instead of her typical dark brown. Tejada can be heard saying through laughs, "I'm not OK. Oh, no." Jenner joined in, laughing as she said, "My brows are ruined. What is this? What the f--k is this? This looks horrible." The 28-year-old took the fail in stride, but the clip made clear that even fashion's biggest night has its unglamorous aftermath.

Jenner also credited her full team on Instagram, gushing over designer Daniel Roseberry and Schiaparelli for the "perfect perfect dress."

Taraji P. Henson Calls Out Celebrities for Attending the Bezos-Backed Met Gala

Meredith Lynch posted a video on Instagram warning A-listers not to wear "ICE Out" pins to the Met Gala while it's sponsored by honorary co-chairs Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos. Lynch acknowledged the Met is "a wonderful institution" that donates gala funds to "a good cause," but called it "wild" that the event is backed by Bezos, who supported Trump — a president who has slashed arts funding. Taraji P. Henson commented directly on that post: "I am so confused by some ppl that are going. I am just like WTF ARE WE DOING!?!?!?!"

Henson didn't stop there. On her Instagram Story, she reshared a post slamming Bezos for owning a $500 million superyacht while Amazon warehouse workers "face precarious conditions, low wages and high injury rates." Her caption: "Enjoy the MET." The criticism didn't keep Hollywood away. Bad Bunny, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Margot Robbie, Beyoncé, and others still attended. Beyoncé is co-chairing this year's gala alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour.

The tension is real: celebrities publicly opposing Trump's agenda showed up to a gala bankrolled by one of his most prominent supporters. The "ICE Out" pins and the Bezos co-chair credit sat in the same room.

Gobble's Take: Wearing an anti-ICE pin to a Jeff Bezos party isn't activism — it's cosplay. Source: r/PopCulture
