We break down the absolute best watches and jewels that defined the 2026 Met Gala.

The first Monday in May has come and gone, and while the usual suspects were busy debating whether a gown is "sculpture" or just "heavy," we were looking at the wrists and necklines. The 2026 Met Gala theme, &ldquo;Costume Art,&rdquo; gave the world&rsquo;s most famous people a license to treat their own bodies like a gallery wall. The result? A red carpet that felt less like a fashion show and more like a high-stakes heist at the Louvre. We saw everything from Bad Bunny reviving a vintage 1996 Cartier Cloche to Lisa draped in a Bulgari high jewellery. Whether you&rsquo;re here for the six-figure horology or the "how-is-that-staying-on" diamond body chains, these are the watches and jewels that actually understood the assignment.
