About this Event

Did your Met Gala invite get lost in the mail AGAIN!?

Good thing LOVE is never lost... and if we play it right... even the wrong train will get you there.

The Magical Transit Authority cordially invites you to

The 7th Annual METRO GALA: COSTUME HEART

Monday, May 11, 2026

5PM – 9PM | Union Square South Plaza

9PM - till we drop | Subway Ride!

Join us at Heart Central Station for our main showstopping, heartstopping event of the year— an electrifying night where we turn-style like no other, and the red carpet is open for all who choose to own it.

This year the Met Gala theme "Costume Art" couldn't be more on point with what we've been doing for 7 years. The only way to make it more us?

More Heart.

The subway lines are the arteries of our city — pumping life, style, chaos, rhythm, and humanity through New York at every stop.

This year we dress for the pulse.

For the people in motion.

For the feeling.

For the romance of the rails.

For the love of NY itself.

Come ride the line between fashion and art.

The past year, we've Metro Galavanted monthly on every subway line. This year, we hope to get our beautiful city to help us make our underground revolution a permanent way of life. Public transportation equals public transformation. Join the party on May 11 and in the months to follow.
