Hugh Jackman, Sutton Foster make stylish couple debut at 2026 Met Gala

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster made their couple debut at the 2026 Met Gala, with Foster attending the prestigious event for the first time.

"Off to the #METGALA2026 - Hugh Jackman"

New York City, May 5

Actors Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster turned fashion's biggest night into a date night as they stepped out together at the Met Gala 2026, marking Foster's debut at the prestigious event.

The couple walked the iconic steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in coordinated elegance.

Foster wore a gold metallic one-shoulder gown featuring gathered detailing and a subtle slit, paired with jewellery by Fred Leighton. Jackman opted for a classic black tuxedo, accented with a silver brooch pin.

Ahead of their appearance, Jackman shared a glimpse of their outfits on Instagram, writing, "Off to the #METGALA2026," while tagging Foster.

While the evening marked Foster's first appearance at the Met Gala, Jackman is a regular attendee.

This year's event followed the dress code 'Fashion is Art,' inspired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's spring 2026 exhibition titled 'Costume Art.'

The theme encouraged guests to approach clothing as a form of artistic expression, focusing on the concept of the "dressed body" and how fashion interacts with form, as per People magazine.

Jackman first attended the event solo in 2024 in a black-and-white tuxedo, a departure from earlier years when he frequently appeared alongside his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness.

The former couple made their Met Gala debut in 2004.

Jackman and Foster, who previously co-starred in the 2022 Broadway production of 'The Music Man', confirmed their relationship in January 2025 when they were seen holding hands in public, as per People magazine.

They later made their red carpet debut in October 2025 at the premiere of Jackman's film 'Song Sung Blue.'

Since then, the pair have made several public appearances together, including at the New York City premiere of Jackman's project 'The Sheep Detectives.'

Their relationship follows personal changes for both actors. Jackman separated from Furness in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage.

Foster filed for divorce from her ex-husband, Ted Griffin, in October 2024.

Both actors have children from their previous marriages.

Met Gala is basically rich people's fashion show. But I must say, Sutton Foster's gold gown is stunning. The way it catches light must be something else in person. "Fashion is Art" theme is fitting for her Broadway background.

Honestly, I'm more interested in the exhibition theme 'Costume Art' than the celebrity drama. The concept of "dressed body" sounds fascinating. Would love to see how Indian designers would interpret this theme at such events. We have so much textile heritage!

They look like a nice couple. But why is the media so obsessed with who celebrities date after divorce? Let them live their lives. Jackman is a great actor, and Foster is talented too. Their chemistry in 'The Music Man' must have been real!

Met Gala is overhyped. But I respect that they kept it classy - no weird outfits just for attention. That gold gown is elegant. Meanwhile in India, we have our own red carpet events where people wear absolutely bizarre stuff. At least these two understand 'dress code'. 😂

Good for them! Everyone deserves happiness after going through divorce. 27 years of marriage is a long time, but people change. Jackman seems like a decent man. Sutton's dress is lovely - that shade of gold is perfect for her skin tone. Classy choice.
