May 2026 - Emmy Award-winning The Crown actress Elizabeth Debicki wore custom Vera Wang HAUTE to the Met Gala in New York City on May 4, 2026—fashion’s most anticipated night—celebrating this year’s “Fashion is Art” theme. She appeared in a light ivory Italian cupro jersey Greco-Roman–inspired gown featuring hand-draped Madame Grès–inspired twisted detailing, a knotted halter back, and a hand-gathered black cupro jersey extended side train that doubled as a modern-day sash.
Vera Wang also wore custom Vera Wang HAUTE, embracing the artistic spirit of the evening in a black Italian double-faced georgette gown defined by asymmetrical toga-inspired draping slung from a Rudi Gernreich–inspired choker neckline, paired with a sculptural black Italian wool crepe armored sleeve and matching bandeau bra—an expressive, modern interpretation of fashion as wearable art.
