Gwendoline Christie Wears a Mask of Her Own Face at 2026 Met Gala

Gwendoline Christie is the epitome of glam at the 2026 Met Gala. The Game of Thrones and Wednesday star (who I need back on a Sunday night HBO show, stat) arrived on the “Costume Art” red carpet wearing what is among the coolest outfits of the night: a red gown accessorized with a mirror-shaped mask of her own face and a feathered headpiece.

Much like the rest of us, Gwendoline is a huge fan of Met Gala fashion history and told Interview Magazine about some of her favorite looks.

“Well, I might be a bit biased, but I absolutely loved when Sarah Jessica Parker went to the punk-themed Met Gala and wore that extraordinary feathered Stephen Jones headpiece with that exquisite Giles Deacon dress, who is my partner, but that fabric had been so beautifully designed and hand-painted and it was just divine on her,” she said. “I think she was wearing tartan Louboutin boots as well and I think she just looked really happy and fabulous but also embracing of the theme in her own personal way. She was still very much SJP. I also adore Billy Porter at any time, but Billy Porter rising in full celebratory mode, you know? Billy Porter is our gift from God, and it felt like he was being recognized and celebrated with a heavy wink and a sense of humor and a great flourish and drama. And I also loved when Chloe Sevigny went to the Met. I think she went as Joan of Arc at the stake, and I think she was wearing armor and some ropes around her and a walkman, and the look was just major. That’s the one I wish I’d come up with.”

Yes to all of this, and adding Gwendoline’s look tonight into the best-of list.
