Connor Storrie is giving fans what they want at the 2026 Met Gala.
On Monday, May 4, 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.
Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Anna Wintour serve as the co-chairs for this year’s sartorial soirée.
At the Tiffany & Co. Blue Book 2026 Gala at the Park Avenue Armory in N.Y.C. on Thursday, April 16, Storrie revealed his go-to styling trick for accessorizing.

“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.”
Storrie previously rocked a Tiffany & Co. Union Square watch earlier this year at the 2026 Golden Globes, and an IWC Schaffhausen Portofino Automatic during his January appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, according to Esquire.
