See Heidi Klum transformed into a living sculpture at the Met Gala

Heidi Klum knows how to be on-trend. At the 2026 Met Gala, she stunned onlookers with a transformation that took the event's "fashion is art" dress code quite literally.
The supermodel and television personality, 52, went full statue on the red carpet and explained her custom getup, reportedly created by Mike Marino, was a nod to Raffaelle Monti's 1847 sculpture "Veiled Vestal."
