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 ❤️ of NY itself.
Come ride the line between fashion and art... come
