Exclusive: Blood, Bodily Transformation, and 659,000 Stitches: Naomi Osaka Explains Her Daring Met Gala 2026 Look

At the Met’s press conference Monday morning, which christened the opening of the Costume Institute’s 2026 exhibition “Costume Art,” Met Gala co-chair Venus Williams, another tennis great, addressed the crowd. In her speech, she said fashion “allowed me to connect to myself” more than anything else—than to fans, than to brands, than to the pop culture conversation.

The Princess of Wales was in her element as she hosted a special reception at Windsor Castle to celebrate the Red Roses’ triumph at the women’s Rugby World Cup. Princess Catherine, dressed in a striking red suit, hailed the “amazing achievement,” telling the world champions: “You’ve really inspired all the new generation (that) perhaps might not even have thought rugby was for them.” She added: “I think it really showed how accessible rugby is to so many types of girls, in different parts of the country.” The future Queen said that her children play rugby at home and had the Red Roses in stitches after revealing that she would not want to be tackled by Prince George. Asked if her daughter played the sport, the princess replied: “Charlotte is playing rugby but at home with the family, so she isn’t yet at school, and I was asking how many schools are actually incorporating (rugby).   “Rugby is so accessible, Louis is playing touch rugby and it’s such a great game. “Actually, they shouldn’t necessarily need …
