Each year, the Met Gala asks fashion to reach beyond itself — but in 2026, under the theme of costume art, it asked something rarer still: not to dress the body, but to dissolve it into something made. Heidi Klum arrived in New York not as a woman in a costume, but as a living sculpture, her form reshaped by weeks of prosthetic engineering from designer Mike Marino. In doing so, she and Marino quietly marked a shift in what high fashion considers its materials — no longer only fabric and jewel, but bone and shadow and the body itself.
