Taylor Swift has arrived at the “Met Gala of the West.”

The 14-time Grammy winner graced the Academy Museum Gala 2026 red carpet Saturday wearing a glittering icy blue Dior ballgown that channeled “Cinderella.”

The look included a subtle sweetheart neckline, flared hips and a beaded bow in the front.

She wore her newly shorn hair curly and pulled back in a half-up style, skipping a necklace in favor of diamond chandelier earrings.

Swift is set to perform during tonight’s event, which celebrates filmmaker and composer John Carpenter, two-time Oscar nominee Colman Domingo and Oscar winner Charlize Theron.

“Taylor is an extraordinary talent whose work resonates around the world,” Amy Homma, Director and President of the Academy Museum and Academy Collection, shared in a statement earlier this month.

“We are thrilled to welcome her to this year’s gala and look forward to her performance to close a wonderful evening of honoring three extraordinary filmmakers and supporting the Academy Museum’s mission to celebrate and preserve cinema.”

Proceeds from the Academy Museum Gala, now in its sixth year, support the institution’s exhibitions, educational opportunities, public screenings and more.

Rolex is the founding supporter of the Academy Museum, and the annual gala is co-chaired by Tom Ford, Robert Rodriguez, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw.

This year’s host committee includes Jessica Alba, Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann, Kirsten Dunst, Kate Hudson, Jessica Lange, Greta Lee, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, Rami Malek, Demi Moore, Olivia Munn, Teyana Taylor and more major names.
