Sabrina Carpenter and Stevie Nicks' performance at the 2026 Met Gala was a work of art.
After each walking the garden-inspired red carpet adorned on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday (May 4), Carpenter and Nicks surprised the attendees with a performance of Fleetwood Mac's 1975 hit "Landslide." The Met shared a video of the performance on Instagram, capturing Nicks standing inside a gold frame as she opened the classic tune. After the first verse, Carpenter arrived on the stage to join in with her own take and the pair finished out the track together.
After another duet of the Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow," Nicks also performed the band's song "Gypsy" as well as her solo hit "Edge of Seventeen." Carpenter, who was later carried to the stage by four attendants, per Billboard, also treated the gala to some of her own popular tracks, singing "Espresso," "Please Please Please" and "House Tour."
The theme for the 2026 Met Gala is "Costume Art," coinciding with the Costume Institute's spring 2026 exhibition, which "explores depictions of the dressed body across The Met's vast collection, pairing garments with artworks to reveal the inherent relationship between clothing and the body," according to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Guests are invited to follow the dress code "Fashion is Art," which The Met stated allows them to "express their own relationship to fashion as an embodied art form and celebrate the countless depictions of the dressed body throughout art history."
This year's event, which is a charity event and fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, is co-chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Check out the best looks from the garden-inspired red carpet.
