Met Gala 2026 RECAP: Beyoncé’s Big Return, Rihanna Shut the Carpet Down, & More DRAMATIC Looks!
ABCDEFG… Kourtney Kardashian had to go elsewhere.
Instead of attending the 2026 Met Gala with her sisters Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and mom Kris Jenner, the Lemme founder opted to stay in Los Angeles for date night with husband Travis Barker.
The Kardashians star posted a photo of their empty dinner plates in a May 4 Instagram Story, tagging Crossroads Kitchen and writing “husband date.”
She also revealed her and Travis’ alternative plans to fashion’s biggest night: Netflix is a Joke Festival. Another post showed that the couple made an appearance at comedian Shane Gillis’ show at the Hollywood Bowl, one of many events during the six-day fest.
Although Kourtney was absent from this year’s festivities, the Met Gala was still a big night for the Kardashian-Jenner clan, whose attending members paid tribute to iconic works of visual art through their “Fashion is Art”-inspired looks.
Kim arrived in a burnt orange hard-shelled piece with pointed nipples by Allen Jones, complete with an orange overskirt and nude heels. The look referenced Jones’ own Body Armour sculpture from 1978, which was also modeled by Kate Moss in 2013.
