Connor Storrie is giving fans what they want at the 2026 Met Gala. On Monday, the "Heated Rivalry" actor made his debut at the star-studded New York City event in a black suit by Saint Laurent.

As Storrie, 26, ascended the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art steps, he removed his jacket to reveal a polka dot halter top with a long train — and his impressive arm muscles.

This year's gala features the dress code of "Fashion Is Art," a reflection of the Met's spring 2026 exhibition titled "Costume Art."

The 2026 theme marks the inauguration of the Institute's first permanent galleries at the museum. The nearly 12,000-square-foot Condé M. Nast Galleries will sit adjacent to The Met’s Great Hall, and its opening indicates “a huge moment for the Costume Institute,” shared curator in charge Andrew Bolton.

“It will be transformative for our department, but I also think it’s going to be transformative to fashion more generally — the fact that an art museum like The Met is actually giving a central location to fashion," he continued.

Storrie joined a prestigious guest list overseen by co-chairs Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour.

Known for his keen eye for accessories, the actor previously expressed his preference for timepieces.

"I love a good watch," he said. "I love silver. I'm wearing a lot of gold right now, but I feel like I'm typically more of a silver bangle kind of guy."

This debut follows a successful year for the actor, who has recently gained international acclaim for his breakout performances on screen.
