One broke a major rule, so here are all the celebs who just attended Met Gala for first time

The biggest event of the year, the Met Gala, took place last night and there were loads of celebrities who attended for the first time ever. Everyone’s talking about Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy, who actually broke a major rule at the 2026 gala. So, here are all the first-timers who made their debut this year.

14-year-old Blue Ivy walked the red carpet with Beyonce and Jay-Z, which was a major moment because the mother hadn’t been to the gala since 2016. The teenager actually broke a huge rule by attending as children aren’t allowed at the Met Gala, and it’s usually strictly reserved for over-18s. How did she get an invite?!

After shooting to fame in the TV show Heated Rivalry, Connor Storrie was invited to the 2026 Met Gala dressed in Saint Laurent, wearing a black polka dot top and black trousers. It’s been a huge year for him, and he was on Saturday Night Live to introduce Olivia Rodrigo just days earlier.
