How Sabrina Carpenter Paid Tribute to Audrey Hepburn With Met Gala 2026 Dress
Sabrina Carpenter and Stevie Nicks were ready to rock a little at the 2026 Met Gala.
The "Manchild" singer and Fleetwood Mac alum left quite an impression with their tasteful performances inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art fundraiser on May 4.
The set began with Sabrina—who switched up her Dior look for a 2018 Versace Tribute dress with Andy Warhol's paintings of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean all over the look—being brought out by four tuxedo-clad men as she sang "Espresso."
The 26-year-old went on to perform "House Tour" and "Please, Please, Please" as stars like Teyana Taylor were seen bopping along in videos posted by the Met.
Stevie then took over the stage in front of the Temple of Dendur, making everyone's dreams come true as she belted out "Gypsy” and her solo track "Edge of Seventeen." Then, the rocker, who traded her Zara by John Galliano look for a Morgane Le Fay dress and Margi Kent jacket, brought Sabrina back to the stage in the Met's Egyptian wing for an unforgettable duet.
The 77-year-old began singing "Landslide" as Sabrina joined.
"Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?" she chimed in. "Can the child within my heart rise above?/ Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?/ Can I handle the seasons of my life?"

Stevie sang back, "I don't know. We don't know," before they harmonized the rest of the song. This time, Sabrina, who also assisted Stevie as she sang "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow," opted for a jaw-dropping fringed golden dress by Bob Mackie when she was brought back out.
The artful performances were the perfect dessert for the attendees after enjoying their Northern Italian-inspired meals. As for what was on the menu?
Chef Olivier Cheng revealed that he had split the courses into three: the garden (appetizer), the statue (main course), and the silhouette (dessert). Guests began with a burrata and green tomato salad, then a rack of lamb and finished with a raspberry-infused red velvet cake.

"The three chapters really are taking you on this culinary journey," he told Vogue ahead of the event, "that reflects the spirit of the exhibition."
