Melissa Rivers has officially declared the “nipple” as the top fashion accessory at the 2026 Met Gala.
“[The] best accessory is the nipple because there were countless. The nipple was the accessory,” Rivers, 58, declared exclusively to Us Weekly on Monday, May 4.
The “Melissa Rivers’ Group Text” host touched on whether the Kardashian-Jenner family fit in with the trend of naked dresses, after Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner all turned heads on the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. (The 2026 Met Gala theme was “Costume Art” and guests were encouraged to follow a “Fashion Is Art” dress code.)
“What we’re trying to figure out on our end, which we have not had time to do a deep dive on yet, is we’re trying to figure out if Kendall and Kylie, if those were the actual skin things that they make with the nipple [on their outfits],” Rivers noted.

(The Custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown consisted of a nude top that blended into a white gown draping off Kylie’s body.)
“That is exactly what it was supposed to be about the art of dressing and the art of fashion and the body,” Rivers said of Kylie’s look. “It was spectacular.”
Rivers noted that Kendall “looked beyond in Zac Posen” as she ranked the whole family from best to worst.
“Kylie for top, then Kendall, Kris, Kim,” she told Us.
This year’s Met Gala red carpet was jam-packed with distinctive and, at times, shocking fashion choices from some of the world’s biggest stars, including Heidi Klum, who was virtually disguised as a Veiled Lady statue, and Bad Bunny, who looked completely unrecognizable in old-age makeup.

As for some of the night’s most prevalent trends, Rivers told Us, “Lots of mermaid hair, a lot of red, a lot of white. My overall feeling was it was very pretty. But we did have splashes of what you expect from the Met Gala, which is over-the-top.”
“I think the theme [of ‘Costume Art’] was hard in a way, because it leaned into all the pretty Grecian and draping but that’s why I think it came out pretty, but of course we had some standouts.”

Unfortunately, not every star impressed the fashion expert, with Katy Perry’s Stella McCartney gown and silver mirrored mask and Klum’s statuesque look facing particular criticism.

Rivers will dive deep into more Met Gala looks on an upcoming episode of her “Melissa Rivers Group Text” podcast.
