Romeo Beckham is at the Met Gala for the first time ever!
The 23-year-old model and soccer player wore a kink-inspired look at the 2026 Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday (May 4) in New York City.
Romeo‘s appearance comes 12 years after his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, made their last appearance at the Met Gala. They haven’t been back to the event since 2014.
Older brother Brooklyn Beckham, who is estranged from his family, has attended the event several times over the years alongside his wife Nicola Peltz.

For Romeo Beckham, the team studied a custom double-breasted Burberry suit from his own wardrobe alongside the self-portraits of Robert Mapplethorpe. The American photographer captured leather as both a uniform and a form of youthful expression in his work, which has influenced artists and fashion designers.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley also wore Burberry.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore a burnt umber gown with crystal and bead-embellished heart shaped bodice and draped silk tulle skirt.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, brand ambassador and long-time friend and model for the house, drew inspiration from a painting in The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s permanent collection. ‘Madame X’ by John Singer Sargent (1883–84) is an important depiction of the dressed body in art, which has had a lasting influence on fashion, photography and design. Rosie’s look references the dress worn in the painting by socialite Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau. Originally painted with a jewelled strap slipping off one shoulder, ‘Madame X’ was considered scandalous when it was first shown.
