Most Fashionable Men Might Turn Up As Dates At This Year's Met Gala

They say if something doesn't come with a superstition or a strong conspiracy theory or two, it probably hasn't reached iconic status yet. The Met Gala that scheduled for May 4 this year has nothing to worry. The Met Gala curse is one of those pop culture folklores that refuses to die.

For years, the Met Gala red carpet has doubled as fashion's most photographed stage and its most speculative one. A testing ground for any couple bold enough to step on it together and face the so-called Met Gala curse—the idea that a first joint appearance on those steps of The Met somehow foreshadows a breakup soon after.

If you're wondering if there is an truth to it, brace yourself because there is a strong chance that the couple just may end up going their separate ways or not if you're George and Amal Clooney, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky.

As much as the fashion's biggest night is about showing off the best interpretation of the Met Ball's theme—this year it is about the Costume Art that looks at the connection between body and fashion— the night is also about hard-launching relationships and solidifying partnership in the public eye.

Naturally, all eyes are on the fashionable fits and the Hollywood's most popular couples who might risk it all on the biggest date night and come out unscathed. Here's a list of men who could potentially attend Met Gala 2026 with their partners:

Both are reportedly on the guest list and it's worth waiting to know if they'll walk in together.

Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner

3 years and going strong, Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner have made their relationship red carpet officially, so there is no reason for them not to appear together at The Met either.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid

Bradley has never been one for flashy couple reveals. Which is why a Met Gala appearance with Gigi Hadid would hit harder than most. The couple has been super low-key with their relationship since 2023.

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi

A rumour that's caught the internet's attention since Coachella, both are reportedly attending the fashion night, but will it be a big date night, we''ll wait and see!
