Cardi B Met Gala Livestream Starts at 6:00 pm EDT May 4
cardi b met gala coverage gets a fixed start time this year: Vogue will begin the 2026 Met Gala red carpet livestream at 6:00 pm EDT on Monday, May 4. The stream will run across Vogue’s digital platforms, including YouTube and TikTok.
Emma Chamberlain Returns
Emma Chamberlain is reprising her past role as Red Carpet Correspondent, while Ashley Graham, La La Anthony, and Cara Delevingne will host the livestream. Micah Bickham is directing this year’s broadcast, giving the coverage a familiar on-camera lineup with a new production lead.
Vogue’s Digital Reach
Full Day Productions, Feed the Animals, and Dream Machine are partners on the livestream. Vogue says it will cover major fashion moments on the red carpet and provide live updates through its official live blog, so viewers who miss the opening slot can still track the night as it unfolds.
May 4 In New York
The 2026 Met Gala takes place in New York on Monday, May 4, and the 6:00 pm EDT start means the livestream begins as the red carpet is in motion, not after it has already filled up. For viewers, the practical move is simple: open Vogue’s digital channels at the listed time if the red carpet is the part of the night they want to see first.
