Troye Sivan faces the wrath of Anna Wintour as he makes big mistake on the 2026 Met Gala pink carpet
Troye Sivan risked Anna Wintour‘s ire on Monday when he arrived at the 2026 Met Gala in New York.
The hitmaker, 30, who lives in Melbourne, walked the red carpet at The Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing a pair of blue jeans.
Despite being dressed in Prada, the singer committed a fashion faux pas in the eyes of the former Vogue editor-in-chief by wearing the casual clothing item to the Met.
Wintour has long held strong opinions about where jeans should and should not be worn, previously saying there are some places where the item can be disrespectful.
A former assistant of the fashion mogul, 76, even once revealed in an interview that Wintour had banned jeans and sneakers in her office.
‘The one unspoken rule, it was never explicitly said, but in Anna’s office is that there are no jeans and no sneakers,’ Sammi Tapper told Vogue in April.

In 2019, during the Vogue video series Go Ask Anna, Wintour said she didn’t dislike jeans, but she believed there was a time and place for them to be worn.
‘Looking at all those models on the street wearing their jeans and T-shirts they all look fantastic,’ she said, but added that they’re not always ‘the most respectful choice’.
She said one should never wear jeans to formal occasions, particularly at the Buckingham Palace and the White House.
‘You should definitely not wear jeans when you’re meeting your future in-laws for the first time,’ she also stressed.
Nevertheless, Troye did not seem bothered by Wintour’s opinion on the fashion item as he proudly rocked his blue denim at the night of nights of celebrity fashion.
He paired the jeans with a white button-up and black tie which he topped with a faux fur-lined coat.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit, also known as the Met Gala, falls on the first Monday in May every year.
The theme of this year’s event – widely considered the biggest night in celebrity red carpet fashion – is Costume Art, while the dress code is Fashion Is Art.

The dress code calls on the A-list attendees to explore how designers use the human body as a blank canvas.
Leading the charge is a powerhouse trio of co-chairs, with Beyonce, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams joining forces with Vogue’s global editorial director Anna Wintour to oversee fashion’s biggest night.
It’s the first time tennis superstar Venus has co-chaired the gala.
Nicole previously co-chaired the star-studded event in 2003 and 2005, while Beyonce was an honorary chair in 2013.
The New York City museum will pair historical and contemporary garments from the Costume Institute for the exhibition, which will be loosely divided into three categories, namely the classical and the nude body, ageing and pregnant bodies, and the anatomical body.
The exhibit – set to unveil the Met’s sprawling new Condé M. Nast Galleries – has been made possible by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez, who are the lead sponsors and honorary co-chairs.
French luxury fashion house Yves Saint Laurent is also sponsoring the exhibit.
