Zoë Kravitz turned up at this year’s Met Gala in a black chic dress, but the focus wasn’t just on her outfit. Amid the rumors of her engagement to Harry Styles, all eyes were on her left hand. But the large cushion-cut diamond ring was nowhere to be seen as the 37-year-old actress decided not to flaunt it at all. Let’s unpack Kravitz’s look at the fashion’s biggest celebration and her cheeky attempt at secrecy.
Did Kravitz try to keep her engagement a secret at the 2026 Met Gala?
On May 4, Zoë Kravitz arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a black lace Saint Laurent gown by Anthony Vaccarello. While the engagement rumors made many people wonder if she would show up with her fiancé, Kravitz remained reserved about the situation. Videos from the event’s red carpet showed her posing with her left hand in her pocket the whole time.
The Batman star seamlessly buried her hand behind the gown’s sculptural waist. The move seemed intentional and did raise eyebrows, especially as she had been frequently spotted with her large gold diamond ring over the last two weeks. While Harry remained MIA, his potential soon-to-be wife walked the red carpet with Vaccarello. She finished her look with golden drop earrings from Jessica McCormack and black pumps.
Co-chaired by icons such as Venus Williams, Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, and Anna Wintour, the event followed the “Fashion is Art” theme. It was a nod to the museum’s spring 2026 exhibition titled “Costume Art.” Interestingly, Meryl Streep, who’s been grabbing headlines for The Devil Wears Prada 2, skipped the event despite high expectations.
As for Styles, he last graced the event in 2019, sporting a gender-fluid outfit. The Sunflower Vol. 6 singer wore a sheer blouse with a high ruffled neck and a bow tie, matching it with black trousers and heeled boots. Meanwhile, Zoë and Harry’s engagement news first picked up steam on April 21, when papz caught her with a ring during an outing in London.
A week later, a source close to the duo confirmed the update to PEOPLE. They claimed the couple had shared the milestone with a “small circle,” with Kravtiz flexing her sparkler to friends. The announcement came just eight months after they started seeing each other. Over the last few months, they have made multiple public appearances.
Some insiders even revealed that the duo is going strong and has built a cozy, genuine life for each other. Still, the two haven’t addressed their new relationship status at the time of writing. What are your thoughts on Kravitz acting all coy? Let us know in the comments section below.
