We all know what happens on the first Monday in May, but what about the first Sunday? As it turns out, there’s an event that’s even more exclusive than the Met Gala: a dinner party at Anna Wintour’s home. While the Metropolitan Museum of Art can accommodate hundreds of guests, the private residence of a Condé Nast executive can naturally accommodate a much smaller group. So, invitations are hard to get, but Sabrina Carpenter made the guest list.
At first glance, Carpenter’s Sunday night dress might seem like your standard dinner party stuff, but I noticed one little detail that made it align perfectly with both the 2026 Met Gala dress code and the theme of the museum’s new exhibit. Both are concerned with the intersection between fashion and art. And you might be asking, what is the most famous accessory ever worn in a work of art? Johannes Vermeer’s nominal ornaments Girl with a Pearl Earring, Absolutely! And it’s exactly what Carpenter wore to Wintour’s house last night. coincidence? I don’t think so! Scroll down to see her outfit, and stay tuned for Who What Wear’s 2026 Met Gala red carpet coverage online and on Instagram And tiktok.
